Judy Chicago

Judy Chicago is an artist, author of fourteen books, educator and humanist whose work and life are models for an enlarged definition of art, an expanded role for the artist, and women’s rights to freedom of expression. Chicago is well-known for her role in creating a Feminist art and art education program in California during the early 1970’s and for her monumental work The Dinner Party (1974 – 1979) which is now housed at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art in the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
