This radical new study aims to change the way that some of the most influential artists of the past 40 years are seen--all of them women. Emphasizing questions of autonomy, critical intelligence and artistic intention, Witness to Her Art presents works by Adrian Piper, Mona Hatoum, Cady Noland, Jenny Holzer, Kara Walker, Daniela Rossell and Eau de Cologne, a magazine published by gallerist Monika Spruth. The artworks are accompanied by original writings by the artists, contemporaneous criticism and newly commissioned essays by Pamela Franks, Aruna D'Souza, Johanna Burton, David Levi Strauss, Hamza Walker and Cuauhtemoc Medina. The ambitious works presented and interpreted herein invite us to consider the impact of the feminist revolution across generations while rendering obsolete any stigma associated with shows or catalogues limited to women artists. Taking its lead from Conceptualism, feminism, and from its included artists, Witness to Her Art reaches for art history's capacity as a medium of world-making.

out of print, 2006. "'witness to her art' documents and explores unknown or little known artistic projects by six influential artists, as well as a pioneering magazine project, 'eau de cologne,' that was also a direct response to social and political realities that needed to be aesthetically engaged. all of these projects were informed by post-1965 artistic developments that continue to define the most viable aesthetic notions of 'the contemporary.'" featuring the pioneering practices of adrian piper, mona hatoum, cady noland, jenny holzer, kara walker, daniela rossell, this volume challenges and expands the ways we understand contemporary art through a feminist lens. the artists' works are presented alongside their original writings, contemporaneous critical responses, and newly commissioned essays by scholars and critics including pamela franks, aruna d'souza, johanna burton, david levi strauss, hamza walker, and cuauhtémoc medina. annandale-on-hudson: bard college center for curatorial studies. isbn: 1931493553. hardcover. book condition: gentle bumping to spine. near fine.
