On this last day of Women’s History Month, I am so excited to unveil the cover for my complete autobiography 'The Flowering' which will hopefully be inspiring, empowering, and useful to anyone interested in making a change-a goal which has fueled my career. As I result, I decided to reexamine my life and career, update the story I began in 1975 and add a whole new section to deal with how much has changed since 1996, when 'Beyond the Flower' ended. It was like having an in-depth conversation with my younger self. Since the fall of 2019, which seems like a lifetime ago, I embarked on a long journey of self-reflection as I revisited my two earlier autobiographies, 'Through the Flower' and 'Beyond the Flower'. Organized on the heels of the 40th anniversary of Chicago's landmark installation, The Dinner Party, in San Francisco and opening in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote across the United States, Judy Chicago: A Retrospective pays homage to an artist whose lifelong fight against the suppression and erasure of women’s creativity has finally come full circle.Ġ821 - THE FLOWERING: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JUDY CHICAGO Together, these works of art chart the boundary-pushing path of the artist named Cohen by birth and Gerowitz by marriage, who, after trying to fit into the patriarchal structure of the Los Angeles art world, decided to change her name and the course of history. The exhibition includes approximately 130 paintings, prints, drawings, and ceramic sculptures, in addition to ephemera, several films, and a documentary. The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco celebrate pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago with a retrospective spanning from her early engagement with the Californian Light and Space Movement in the 1960s to her current body of work, a searing investigation of mortality and environmental devastation, begun in 2015.
