Judy Chicago

Born Judy Cohen in 1939 in Chicago, Judy Chicago is a pioneer of the feminist art movement in the United States. She developed the first feminist art programme at the University of California in 1970 and co-founded the Feminist Studio Workshop in 1973. The Dinner Party is her best-known installation, in which she celebrates 1,038 women in the form of a large banquet table, the first monumental work made by and for women. In 2020, at the age of 80, she had her first retrospective at the De Young Museum (San Francisco).
