"Chakaia Booker: The Observance" is the first comprehensive monograph on this important yet understudied American artist. Illuminating more than three decades of Booker’s practice, the publication explores her signature form – monumental works made of rubber – while showcasing her innovations across mediums including photography, painting, and prints. The book features some of Booker’s most topical works. With new photography of the wide-ranging exhibition at ICA Miami, historic images, and newly commissioned scholarship, it illuminates key themes in the artist’s practice. With special attention to Booker’s totemic and anthropomorphic assemblages fabricated from cast-off tyres, the publication engages the artist’s ongoing expression of ecological and technological concerns, examinations of racial and economic disparities and interest in the symbolism of the automobile in American culture.

Innovantes et provocantes, les sculptures, peintures et installations emblématiques de Judy Chicago ont permis de rapprocher le féminisme de l'art au cours des années 1960, 70 et au-delà. En utilisant des images inspirées du corps féminin et des références à des personnages féminins historiques, Chicago a forgé un nouveau langage visuel axé sur les femmes qui continue d'influencer l'esthétique de l'art féministe aujourd'hui. Ce livre retrace la carrière de Chicago depuis son apparition sur la scène artistique de Los Angeles dans les années 1960 jusqu'à son travail abouti dans les années 1990. Présentant des illustrations de six œuvres distinctes, ce livre comprend le chef-d'œuvre de Chicago, le dîner, ainsi que d'autres œuvres moins connues. Avec des essais informatifs qui situent l'œuvre de Chicago dans le contexte de l'art contemporain californien du sud et de l'érudition qui reflète le travail actuel de Chicago, ce livre complet offre un regard à couper le souffle sur l'une des figures par excellence de l'art féministe américain. (d'après l'éditeur). Groundbreaking and provocative, Judy Chicago’s iconic sculptures, paintings, and installations helped bridge the gap between feminism and art during the 1960s, 70s, and beyond. Using imagery inspired by the female body and references to historical female figures, Chicago forged a new, women-focused visual language that continues to influence the aesthetics of feminist art today. This book traces Chicago’s career from her emergence on the Los Angeles art scene in the 1960s through her mature work in the 1990s. Featuring illustrations of six distinct bodies of works, this book includes Chicago’s masterpiece The Dinner Party as well as other lesser-known works. With informative essays that situate Chicago’s oeuvre in the context of contemporary Southern Californian art and scholarship that reflects Chicago’s current work, this comprehensive book provides a breathtaking look at one of the quintessential figures of American feminist art.
