Прекрасна, пізнавальна колекція про жінок-мисткинь (female artists) в сучасному мистецтві. Найбільш мені цікаво було читати про Кікі Сміт (яку вважаю чи не найбільш цікавою художницею ever) та Енн Гамільтон (тут взагалі неймовірна складність та масштабність інсталяцій, ленд проектів тощо). Про більшість дізнався вперше. Мінус одна зірка - відсутність аналітики, науковості, тому це більше довідник, хоча й далеко не поверхневий. Тим, хто цікавиться сучасним мистецтвом - must read.

Good informative book on female centred modern art. Really enjoyed the chapter on Ann Hamilton and I discovered Kiki Smith through this book and she is amazing too.

Wonderful set of artists about whom I was severely undereducated. I knew about half the names before reading this , and barely knew about their work. Now, I don't think I'll forget any of them. This book gives in-depth and thoughtful summaries of some of the most remarkable art and artists of the 20th and 21st centuries... who just happen to be women.

Wholly inspiring.
