Description

Accompanying probably the most comprehensive exhibition of postwar abstract sculpture by women artists so far, Revolution within the Making traces the ways during which women artists deftly transformed the language of sculpture within the 20th Century. The quantity teases out more than one strains of proto-feminist practices, characterized by abstraction and repetition, which rejected the singularity of a so-referred to as ‘masterwork’.

Divided into four sections, the book features approximately thirty artists and nearly 100 works in total: the postwar era (the late 1950s) including such historically essential predecessors as Ruth Asawa, Lee Bontecou, Louise Bourgeois, Claire Falkenstein, and Louise Nevelson; the 1960s and 1970s, highlighting a generation of post-minimalist artists who ignited a revolution of their use of process-oriented materials and methods; the 1980s and 1990s, the period that moved beyond three-dimensional objects toward architectonic works characterized by structure and design; and post-2000 works by artists who created installation-based totally environments, embraced domestic materials and adopted craft as an embedded discourse.
