Fifty years in the making, a radical retelling of human history in the form of an illuminated manuscript by acclaimed artist and author Judy Chicago, begun alongside her iconic work
The Dinner Party
, and published in collaboration with Serpentine.
Revelations
is the work that Judy Chicago believed would never be published: a radical retelling of human history in the form of an illuminated manuscript, recovering stories of women that society sought to erase. Begun alongside her iconic installation
in the mid-1970s, and drawing on her intensive research into goddess worship and women’s history,
is foundational to Chicago’s decades-long practice. It is at once a vibrant narrative and a work of art, fifty years in the making.
