Judy Chicago’s seminal installation “The Dinner Party,” which functions as an abridged history of women’s historical achievements, is perhaps the most iconic work in the history of feminist art. The massive installation includes giant tables covered in place settings representing notable women in history, each setting with its own hand-painted china plate and embroidered napkin. The tables sit on a floor of marble tiles embellished with women’s names, and are flanked by tapestries marked with excerpts from one of Chicago’s poems. This multifaceted and colossal undertaking required five years and hundreds of volunteers to complete, and Inside the Dinner Party Studio reveals the incredible process behind the masterpiece. The exhibit features concept sketches, samples and test pieces, and behind-the-scenes video shot during the making, offering a unique glimpse into how this mammoth artwork was created.
