Author: Als, HiltonPublished to follow the landmark exhibition at Karma, New York, this catalogue unites the works of 30 women painters who were active in New York City during the 1970s. The collection showcases the diverse practices and backgrounds of these artists, all of whom were deeply influenced by the transformative legacy of second-wave feminism. Artists include: Cynthia Carlson, Martha Diamond, Suzan Frecon, Mary Heilmann, Helen Marden, Dindga McCannon, Joan Snyder and many more.During this period, a new form of painting emerged, fusing elements of sculpture and textile into the medium while reevaluating its role through innovative art historical methodologies. Amid debates about the relevance of painting, women artists revitalised the practice, coinciding with a shifting political landscape characterised by the global revolt of women against their marginalised status.ISBN 9781949172980.
