Five centuries of fascinating female creativity presented in more than 400 compelling artworks and one comprehensive volume

The most extensive fully illustrated book of

women artists ever published, Great Women

Artists reflects an era where art made by

women is more prominent than ever. In

museums, galleries, and the art market,

previously overlooked female artists, past

and present, are now gaining recognition

and value. Featuring more than 400 artists from

more than 50 countries and spanning 500 years

of creativity, each artist is represented here

by a key artwork and short text. This essential

volume reveals a parallel yet equally engaging

history of art for an age that champions a

greater diversity of voices.

"Real changes are upon us, and today one can

reel off the names of a number of first-rate

women artists. Nevertheless, women are just

getting started."The New Yorker
