Abstract

This title covers groundbreaking art from a revolutionary era, featuring work by more than 120 international artists. There had never been art like the art produced by women artists in the 1970s - and there has never been a book with the ambition and scope of this one about that groundbreaking era. "WACK!" documents and illustrates the impact of the feminist revolution on art made between 1965 and 1980, featuring pioneering and influential works by artists who came of age during that period - Chantal Akerman, Lynda Benglis, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Valie Export, Mary Heilmann, Sanja Ivekovic, Ana Mendieta, Annette Messager, and others - as well as important works made in those years by artists whose whose careers were already well established, including Louise Bourgeois, Judy Chicago, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Lucy Lippard, Alice Neel, and Yoko Ono. The art surveyed in "WACK!" includes work by more than 120 artists, in all media - from painting and sculpture to photography, film, installation, and video - arranged not by chronology but by theme: Abstraction, "Autophotography," Body as Medium, Family Stories, Gender Performance, Knowledge as Power, Making Art History, and others.
