The Dinner Party: A Symbol of Our Heritage"For the past five years, Judy Chicago - a name synonymous with feminist breakthroughs in art - has been transforming the idea of a dinner party into a work of unprecedented beauty and scope. A monumental sculpture, "The Dinner Party" is a symbolic history of women's achievements and struggles told through 39 china painted plates and elaborately embroidered runners which cover a triangular table. This book is the story of its creation and the history it represents."--BOOK COVER. |
