Judy Chicago“And then all that divided them merged” Banner Design for THE DINNER PARTY1978
1978
About the Item
Offset lithograph of the design for the "And then all that divided them merged” banner that was used to promote Judy Chicago's iconic work "The Dinner Party" which featured 39 intricate place settings on a triangle table for 39 mythical and historically famous women. This design hung with a set of 6 total entry banners in the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco in March of 1978 when "The Dinner Party" opened.
The original banner was woven by the San Francisco Tapestry Workshop, the first workshop in America to provide training in Aubusson tapestry technique, a high-warp (or vertical) weaving popular during the Renaissance. Judy Chicago was inspired to use Renaissance pictorial weaving when she discovered that women were prohibited from working on the high-warp looms.
Originally produced in 1978, the print also features a signature by the artist, Judy Chicago, dated 1980. Currently hung in a matching red frame.
Dimensions Without Frame: H 34 in. x W 22 in.
Artist Biography: An artist focused on feminist issues with a goal of promoting more respect for women, Judy Chicago is best known for her famous installation exhibit called Dinner Party, a monumental testament to women's collective histories. Much of her work is collaborative including a major exhibition that opened in May, 2000 at the American Craft Museum in New York and titled "Resolutions for the Millennium: A Stitch in Time."
Dinner Party, begun in 1974 and finished in 1978, involved more than 100 women in the execution and combined sculpture, ceramics, china painting and needlework. It was an equilateral triangle 48 feet wide with 39 place settings, each specially designed to be appropriate for a particular woman to whom it was dedicated.
Many of these women were important figures in history such as the Hatshepsut, the Egyptian Pharoah, and writer Virginia Woolf. Names of 999 women were inscribed on the floor. Dinner Party attracted some of the largest crowds ever to attend a museum exhibition when it was shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in April 1978.
In 2003, Dinner Party was acquired by the Brooklyn Museum, through its purchase and donation by museum trustee Elizabeth Sackler. 2007, the work was installed in a triangular room in the museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.
Judy Chicago was born Judith Cohen in Chicago, and was raised in a family of hard working people where women were equal. In 1960, she moved to California and received her B.A. and M.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
She has been an assistant professor at California State University where, angered by what she perceived as sexism, she set up the first feminist art course in the nation. Then she and Miriam Schapiro established the Feminist Art Program at the California Institute of the Arts. In 1970, she changed her last name to Chicago. She later settled her studio in Balen, New Mexico.
