After the revolution : women who transformed contemporary art ( Book )
4 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 1,147 libraries worldwide
This volume provides an overview of 12 significant and internationally successful female artists. Within the context of the broad cultural shifts that occurred in 1970s America, many art historians and curators have questioned the exclusion of women from both the pantheon of famous artists and the display floors of contemporary museums. This work describes the impact of women artists on contemporary art since the advent of the feminist movement. Following an essay assessing the changes in the situation of women artists, the authors examine the careers of twelve outstanding artists: Marina Abramowicz, Louise Bourgeois, Ellen Gallagher, Ann Hamilton, Jenny Holzer, Elizabeth Murray, Shirin Neshat, Judy Pfaff, Dana Schutz, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, and Nancy Spero. Each artist's accomplishments and her influence on contemporaries including younger male and female artists is explored.

Postmodernism by Eleanor Heartney ( Book )
9 editions published between 2001 and 2008 in English and held by 812 libraries worldwide
"Perhaps few words have been as overused and misunderstood in recent times as the term 'postmodernism'. This book presents a lively, wide-ranging and highly readable exploration of what postmodernism has come to mean in the context of contemporary art." "The postmodern revolution replaced the Modernist faith in universality, authenticity, and artistic progress with a world that turned artworks into texts, history into mythology, the artist into a fictional character and reality into an outmoded convention. Postmodernism examines the key developments in the history of postmodern art. It includes a discussion of Neo-expressionism, the 'anti-aesthetic' movement, the art of commodity critique, postmodern feminism and postmodern multiculturalism. In the process it touches on a number of intriguing questions, among them: What is art without an artist? Why is photography the quintessential postmodern medium? How did a movement grounded in denunciations of the commodification of art generate one of the most heated art markets in recent history? Postmodernism brings clarity to a confusing moment in contemporary art."--BOOK JACKET.
