Five centuries of fascinating female creativity presented in more than 400 compelling artworks and one comprehensive volume
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 from
more than 50 countries and spanning 500 years
of creativity, each artist is 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.
"Real changes are upon us, and today one can
reel off the names of a number of first-rate
women artists. Nevertheless, women are just
getting started."The New Yorker
