This week, we look at Judy Chicago’s iconic feminist work, “The Dinner Party” (1979), which debuted at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to both rave reviews and stark criticism.
Laid out as a dinner party, the formal table is set for 39 distinguished guests complete with elaborate handmade runners and 3D ceramic plates. It’s a table celebrating famous women in history and the female archetype - a place where women usually prepared the meal and then receded out of view.
Nothing like it had been done before, a push to bring the stories and histories of these women into the modern narrative.
A revolutionary artist with works spanning over 60 years, Judy Chicago continues to push the conversation with her themes of identify, self-exploration, and challenges to the status quo.
