FROM THE PUBLISHER

Taschen To Publish A Who's Who Of Women In The Art World

Don't expect Grandma Moses when you open this book. This 576 page flexi-bound book features over 90 international, trend-setting artists from the 1920s to the turn of the millennium and includes painting, sculpture, photography, video, installations, interactive projects, conceptual, performance and body art. Six pages are devoted to each artist including annotated photographs, an incisive essay describing her work, and an exhibition history. Presented in alphabetical order, WOMEN ARTISTS is an indispensable addition to a complete art library.

SYNOPSIS

Taschen's inventive layout is effective in presenting the provocative works, words, and biographies of the nearly 100 women artists gathered here. Grosenick, a freelance art historian in Germany, has selected women artists working in Germany, the US, South Africa, Japan, Poland, France, Scandinavia, and Spain, among other countries. The entry for each artist is six pages, with much of the space devoted to good-quality color photos of her work.
