Women Artists

Don't think that because there are no male artists in this book that it's any less a comprehensive guide to 20th century art & art movements. And don't expect a quaint, lightweight offering: this hardcover baby weighs in at 576 pages & features more than 90 international artists from the twenties to the turn of the millennium. From painting, sculpture, & photography (of course) to concept art, performance, body art, video, feminist actions, installations, & interactive projects -- a great diversity of themes & media are featured. The likes of Marina Abramovic, Laurie Anderson, Vanessa Beecroft, Louise Bourgeois, Sonia Delaunay, Nan Goldin, Barbara Hepworth, Jenny Holzer, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, Barbara Kruger, Tamara de Lempicka, Mariko Mori, Yoko Ono, Meret Oppenheim, Elizabeth Peyton, Pipilotti Rist, Cindy Sherman, Rosemarie Trockel, Rachel Whiteread (and too many others to name) grace the pages of this tome, each artist represented by six pages of illustrations & photographs covering the various phases of her life & work, including biographical portraits & text. Presented in alphabetical order by artist, "Women Artists" is an indispensable reference guide, not to mention a beautiful book that's a joy to flip through.Grosenick, Uta is the author of 'Women Artists', published 2001 under ISBN 9783822859674 and ISBN 3822859672.
