 Judy Chicago
US Born Judy Cohen in Chicago, Illinois, Judy Chicago is a sculptor, painter, and multimedia artist who has worked mainly in California.
Chicago has been interested in revisiting the aesthetic and practical techniques with which women have traditionally been associated - weaving, quilting, needlework, etc. - with the intention of freeing these from such dismissive categories as "folk art" and "craft," which diminish their power and importance.
In more recent works, Chicago has explored similar feminist issues, and in 1980, in collaboration with her husband Donald Woodman, she began working on "The Holocaust Project", completed in 1993, which featured a collection of art objects exploring the significance of the Holocaust in the context of the traditionally feminine sensibilities of compassion and care.

 Genders OnLine Journal - Feminist Art and (Post)Modern Anxieties: The Judy Chicago Retrospective
The retrospective, entitled "Judy Chicago: Trials and Tributes," began at Florida State University, as the culmination of curator Viki D. Thompson Wylder's dissertation, and has been travelling throughout the country since early 1999 (IU was the second of seven stops on the exhibition's tour).
Chicago's work presents naked female bodies as a source of strength, empowerment, and creative energy, what Wylder calls "an attitude of realized self-power, a knowledge of the connection of the self with the environment in which the self exists" (23).
Chicago's public acknowledgment of the collaborative nature of much of her work thus seems to create anxieties among guardians of "high art," since it challenges the vision of artists as autonomous, solitary geniuses.

Chicago’s latest book, Fragments From the Delta of Venus, is a mixture of imagery and text, with the latter coming from her late friend’s literary forays into pulp erotica.
Chicago enlisted the help of hundreds of female artisans and craft persons to create the elaborate tapestries and ceramic place settings designed for each woman at the table.
