World-renowned artist Judy Chicago will be joined in conversation by writer Sarah Thornton around the release of Judy Chicago: New Views (National Museum of Women in the Arts and Scala Arts Publishers), the first major monograph on the artist in nearly 20 years. For almost six decades, Chicago has been a steadfast champion for overcoming the erasure of women’s achievements through her work. New Views provides fresh look at Chicago’s entire career and accompanies the debut of her latest body of work in an exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington, D.C. titled, Judy Chicago—The End: A Meditation on Death and Extinction, as well as gallery shows this fall in Los Angeles and New York. The publication provides a re-examination of Chicago’s wide-ranging artistic expression through essays written by Thornton who wrote the introduction, as well as Hans Ulrich Obrist, Jonathan D. Katz, Martha C. Nussbaum, Massimiliano Gioni, William Simmons, and Susan Fisher Sterling.
Salon 94, which is showing Judy Chicago: Picturing Extinction; Studies for The End, as a complement to the NMWA exhibition, at their Freeman’s Alley gallery, will sell books at the event. Limited edition products by Prospect will also be available, including Chicago’s fine bone china plates, silk throw pillows, scarves, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and a new pomegranate goddess soap sculpture. Judy Chicago will be signing products and copies of Judy Chicago: New Views following the discussion.
The event is free and open to the public. General public should reserve a space. Please note seating is on a first come basis; an RSVP does not guarantee admission as we generally overbook to ensure a full house.
