The Pink Glass Swan: Selected Feminist Essays on Art

Description

This collection features selected writings over two decades from America's leading feminist art critic. It traces Lucy Lippard's thinking on such topics as the ever-evolving definitions of "women's art", the convergence of high and low art, political and activist art, and the contributions of feminist art theory to the politics of identity that infuses the production and display of fine art today. Articles are drawn from newspapers, magazines and art catalogues which have appeared across America.

Lucy R. Lippard is an internationally known writer, activist, and curator. She has authored twenty-three books, has curated more than fifty major exhibitions, and holds nine honorary doctorates of fine arts. Her books include The Lure of the Local, Partial Recall, The Pink Glass Swan, Mixed Blessings, On the Beaten Track, and Overlay, all published by The New Press. Lippard is the recipient of numerous awards, most recently the Carolyn Bancroft History Prize from the Denver Public Library and grants from Creative Capital and the Lannan Foundation. She lives in New Mexico.
