Art and Feminism

The first major volume to present the rich diversity of art informed by feminism. Includes work by more than 150 artists from the 1960s to the present, from Alice Neel and Eva Hesse to Gillian Wearing and Coco Fusco. A comprehensive survey by Peggy Phelan, leading feminist theorist of contemporary art and performance. Exposes assumptions about gender, politicizing the link between private and public, and stressing the specificity of art marked by gender, race, age and class.
