I am delighted to have contributed to Great Women Sculptors, published by Phaidon in September 2024. I have written about a broad range of artists from around the world and across art history: Tauba Auerbach, Michelle Stuart, Rita McBride, Mary Miss, Lily Garafulic, Augusta Savage, Betye Saar, Lara Schnitger, Julia Phillips, Anicka Yi, Paula Dawson and Meret Oppenheim.
Great Women Sculptors is a celebration of more than 300 groundbreaking women sculptors that surveys 500 years of creative ingenuity from around the world.
Presenting a more expansive and inclusive history of sculpture, Great Women Sculptors surveys the work of more than 300 trailblazing artists from over 60 countries, spanning 500 years from the Renaissance to the present day.
Organized alphabetically, each artist is represented by an image and newly commissioned text. This wide-ranging survey champions the best-known women sculptors from art history alongside today’s rising stars. From more recognizable names such as Camille Claudel, Gego, Barbara Hepworth, and Yayoi Kusama to some of today’s most significant contemporary artists including Huma Bhaba, Mona Hatoum, and Simone Leigh, this book showcases 500 years of sculptural creativity in one accessible, visually stunning volume.
