About the Item
Judy Chicago (b. 1939) is a world-renowned American artist and preeminent figure of the Feminist Art movement of the 1970s.
Throughout her career, Chicago has consistently challenged the (male-dominated) art world with her creations by addressing issues of femininity, historical oppression, and power structures. Chicago is also notable for her embrace / elevation of unconventional, craft or "feminine" materials such as needlepoint, embroidery and smoke.
Chicago's best-known work, "The Dinner Party" is an icon of feminist art and a major accomplishment in installation. It debuted to much fanfare and controversy in 1979. The massive installation featured thirty-nine place settings replete with highly-abstracted vaginal imagery on elaborate ceramic plates set on a triangular table. Each setting honors a historical or mythological woman of significance who has been marginalized or overlooked.
Throughout Chicago's career she has unflinchingly addressed women's issues. "The Creation" is associated with Chicago's "Birth Project," a body of work that confronts the lack of representation of childbirth throughout art history. For this series, Chicago collaborated with 150 international needleworkers to produce 84 works that both celebrate and evoke the exhilarating and sublime nature of childbirth.
Rendered in a dazzling neon palette, "The Creation" depicts a woman giving birth as a symbol of the world's genesis. Chicago captures the cosmic rush and dynamic energy of creation, amplifying the profound and mythical force that brings forth life.
This iconic piece is represented in numerous public collections such as The British Museum (London), The Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney), and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.
Today, Chicago remains more relevant and in demand than ever. In 2020 she was commissioned to present the Dior Haute Couture presentation. In 2023 the New Museum in New York City showed the first comprehensive retrospective of her work. At the time of writing, the Serpentine Gallery in London is hosting "Revelations" a major interdisciplinary exhibit with an emphasis on works on paper.

Adam and Eve
By Salvador Dalí
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Salvador Dali (1904-1989) is Surrealism's most accomplished and iconic practitioner. His work is eccentric, elaborate, and mysterious, with an avant-garde style that explores the depths of consciousness and dream-like states.
Prolific and endlessly inventive, Dali worked in almost every possible artistic medium; film, sculpture, photography, fashion and of course painting. Some of his earliest etchings date to the 1930's, as he worked in the graphic arts at the beginning of his career.
"Adam & Eve" comes from a series called "Our Historical Heritage." The portfolio depicts eleven events and historical figures from the Hebrew scriptures (the Torah or Old Testament), including Noah's Ark, Joseph, Moses, and more. This portfolio emphasizes Dali's influence by religious themes, and is created with his signature mastery and style.
This etching depicts the pivotal moment in the biblical story, when temptation strikes Adam and Eve, as they sit in the Garden of Eden and are lured to the lustrous forbidden fruit hanging from the tree of knowledge. Eve's hand wraps around the apple while Adam's reaches for it, as the serpent watches...
