Photograph © Donald Woodman / ARS, New York The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco celebrate pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago with a retrospective spanning from her early engagement with the Californian Light and Space Movement in the 1960s to her current body of work, a searing investigation of mortality and environmental devastation, begun in 2015. The exhibition includes approximately 130 paintings, prints, drawings, and ceramic sculptures, in addition to ephemera, several films, and a documentary. Together, these works of art chart the boundary-pushing path of the artist named Cohen by birth and Gerowitz by marriage, who, after trying to fit into the patriarchal structure of the Los Angeles art world, decided to change her name and the course of history. This private tour will be led by Shira Barnett, a Jungian analyst and de Young docent, who brings an analytic psychology perspective to her interpretation of the works and lives of the artists. Space is limited. Register soon! No Continuing Education Credits are available for this event.
