Judy Chicago

Judy Chicago is an American painter, sculptor and installation artist. Her career has always connected her artistic practice with her activities as an educator. Her work has always embraced feminist thematics.

Since the 1970s, Chicago pioneered Feminist art and art education through a programme for women at California State University, Fresno, a pedagogical approach that she has continued to develop over the years.

Chicago’s works have been included in several museum exhibitions across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia. Her artistic practice has always been parallel to publishing: she has written several books, published in different languages and countries.
