Judy Chicago: Making Advances
Judy Chicago: Making Advances
November 10-December 23, 2022
Jessica Silverman is pleased to announce “Judy Chicago: Making Advances”, a solo exhibition featuring a series of new minimalist sculptures alongside historical drawings that explore color as a means of transformation and perceptual awakening, on view from November 10 to December 23, 2022. Chicago began her exploration of color in the 1960s within a reduced formal vocabulary of geometric shapes. In doing so, she recast the concerns of minimalism as perceptual matters of selfhood and feminist subjectivity that still inform her practice today.
