JUDY CHICAGO "ACCIDENTS, INQUIRIES" LITHO, 1988
Judy Chicago (b. 1939) is a world-renowned American artist and preeminent figure of the Feminist Art movement of the 1970s.
Throughout her career, Chicago has consistently challenged the (male-dominated) art world with her creations by addressing issues of femininity, historical oppression, and power structures. Chicago is also notable for her embrace / elevation of unconventional, craft, or "feminine" materials such as needlepoint, embroidery, and smoke.
Chicago's best-known work, "The Dinner Party" is an icon of feminist art and a major accomplishment in installation. It debuted to much fanfare and controversy in 1979. The massive installation featured thirty-nine place settings replete with highly-abstracted vaginal imagery on elaborate ceramic plates set on a triangular table. Each setting honors a historical or mythological woman of significance who has been marginalized or overlooked.
This piece served as a promotional post for Chicago's 1988 exhibition, "Accidents, Inquiries, and Other Calamities" at Andrew Smith Gallery. Rendered in a celestial palette, the poster perfectly encapsulates the artist's luminous aesthetic from this era.
Today, Chicago remains more relevant and in demand than ever. In 2020 she was commissioned to present the Dior Haute Couture presentation. In 2023 the New Museum in New York City showed the first comprehensive retrospective of her work. At the time of writing, the Serpentine Gallery in London is hosting "Revelations" a major interdisciplinary exhibit with an emphasis on works on paper.
