Item description from seller

300 pages, illustrations (some colour); 26 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Cincinnati Art Museum and other museums, starting February 22, to December 31, 1989. Firm binding, clean inside copy. OVERSIZE! Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. *** A major exhibition featuring women's art of the seventies and eighties that shows, according to the curators, how women artists have moved into the "mainstream." This was a dubious premise because many feminist artists of the early women's movement wanted to revolutionize the world, rather than enter the mainstream. Instead of focusing on feminist artists, however, the exhibition showcased women artists who were, if not necessarily activists, then beneficiaries of feminism and the fight for equality. The exhibition underplayed the importance of conceptual, performance, and video art at the expense of more traditional, and commercially-viable, forms like painting and works on paper. Many of the artists in the exhibition were affiliated with the Pattern & Decoration movement of the late seventies and early eighties. Despite the rather uplifting title, the catalogue provides a wealth of data and statistics showing how women continued to be discriminated against by artworld institutions. Richly illustrated with colour plates. Size: 4to.
