Overview

To what extent have developments in global politics, artworld institutions, and local cultures reshaped the critical directions of feminist art historians? The significant new research gathered here engages with the rich inheritance of feminist historiography since around 1970, and considers how to maintain the forcefulness of its critique while addressing contemporary political struggles. Taking on subjects that reflect the museological, global and materialist trajectories of twenty-first-century art historical scholarship, the chapters address the themes of Invisibility, Temporality, Spatiality and Storytelling. They present new research on a diversity of topics that span political movements in Italy, urban gentrification in New York, community art projects in Scotland and Canada's contemporary indigenous culture. Individual chapter analyses focus on the art of Lee Krasner, The Emily Davison Lodge, Zoe Leonard, Martha Rosler, Carla Lonzi and Womanhouse. Together with a synthesising introductory essay, these studies provide readers with a view of feminist art histories of the past, present and future.

Reviews

As an innovative selection that engenders new approaches to writing feminist art histories today, [this collection] unquestionably adds to the scholarship and the growing number of edited collections on feminist art and art histories. * Visual Studies *

The introduction successfully serves the dual roles of constructing a useful historiography of feminist art history and positioning each of the essays in relation to both its predecessors and one another... Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. --Choice Connect
