Description
The most extensive fully illustrated book of women artists ever published, GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS reflects an era where art made by women is more prominent than ever.
In museums, galleries, and the art market, previously overlooked female artists, past and present, are now gaining recognition and value. Featuring more than 400 artists, each represented here by a key artwork and short text, this essential volume reveals a parallel yet equally engaging history of art for an age that champions a greater diversity of voices.
'Every now and then a book comes out that can change lives. If a survey like this had appeared when I was a student at the Slade, the struggle to make headway as a female artist would have seemed less daunting. We'd have had role models and names with which to counter the assertion that there had never been any significant women artists. And the recent explosion of female talent celebrated in this book might have happened a generation earlier. Phaidon's latest offering is a revelation' – Sarah Kent, The Arts Desk
