In this book, contributors identify and explore a range of iconic works "Mistress-Pieces" that have been made by feminists and gender activists since the 1970s. The first volume for which the defining of iconic feminist art is the raison dêtre, its contributors interpret a "Mistress-Piece" as a work that has proved influential in a particular context because of its distinctiveness and relevance.
Reinterpreting iconic art by Alice Neel, Hannah Wilke and Ana Mendieta, the authors also offer important insights about works that may be less well known those by Natalia LL, Tanja Ostojic, Swoon, Clara Menéres, Diane Victor, Usha Seejarim, Ilse Fusková, Phaptawan Suwannakudt ?and Tracey Moffatt, among others. While in some instances revealing cross influences between artists working in different frameworks, the publication simultaneously makes evident how social and political factors specific to particular countries had significant impact on the making and reception of art focused on gender.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies and gender studies.
