Description
Published in conjunction with the exhibit Judy Chicago: Revelations at the Serpentine, London
Judy Chicago, Martha Easton, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Chris Bayley, and Donald Woodman
Fifty years in the making, a radical retelling of human history in the form of an illuminated manuscript by acclaimed artist and author Judy Chicago, begun alongside her iconic work The Dinner Party, and published in collaboration with Serpentine.
Revelations is the work that Judy Chicago believed would never be published: a radical retelling of human history in the form of an illuminated manuscript, recovering stories of women that society sought to erase. Begun alongside her iconic installation The Dinner Party in the mid-1970s, and drawing on her intensive research into goddess worship and women’s history, Revelations is foundational to Chicago’s decades-long practice. It is at once a vibrant narrative and a work of art, fifty years in the making.
