A FIGHTER FOR EGALITARIANISM AND JUSTICE. Judy Chicago is an artist, author, feminist, cultural historian, and educator who lives and works in New Mexico, USA. In 2018 she was named one of Time Magazine's most influential people, and she has garnered an enduring stature. Born Judy Cohen in 1939, and known briefly after her first marriage as Judy Gerowitz, Chicago attended the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1970, she adopted the surname 'Chicago' and initiated the United States' first Feminist Art Programme at California State University, Fresno. Chicago became particularly well known for her 1970s installation The Dinner Party. In 2024 her show Revelations is at London's Serpentine and Herstory is at LUMA Arles.

"Feminist art promotes diversity. I believe that every voice counts."

"I look at the history of art as the history of men's art, and so feminist art opens the way for a history of women's art."

"I don't think people quite understand how much work it is for an artist to have three shows within one year."
