Prestel Publishing Feminist Avant-Garde – Enlarged And Revised Edition

This publication is the third and extensively expanded edition of the successful book “Feminist Avant-Garde”. Featuring almost one hundred female artists such as Martha Rosler, Mary Beth Edelson, Ana Mendieta, Nil Yalter, Ulrike Rosenbach, Emma Amos, and Dara Birnbaum, this publication illustrates the radical feminist art movement of the 1970s. The international women artists share a collective consciousness which, for the first time in art history, completely re-evaluates the “image of the woman” and turns to new forms of expression such as photography, performance, film and video. Their works are provocative, poetic and ironic. This outstanding volume is a standard work on feminist art. It presents twenty years of research work by the editor Gabriele Schor, founding director of the VERBUND COLLECTION, Vienna, and is published on the occasion of the exhibition tour of the same name (Stuttgart and Hanover 2025, Sao Paolo 2026, Lucerne 2027).
