Description
Anonymous Was A Woman: The First 25 Years celebrates the transformative impact of women artists on contemporary art since the founding of the titular grant. This landmark publication commemorates the achievements of over 250 contemporary women who have received the "Anonymous Was A Woman" award.
In honour of the award's twenty-fifth anniversary, the book provides new essays, along with a biographical description and selected artworks of each artist who received the award from its founding in 1996 through 2020. This period marks a significant era where the accomplishments of women have thoroughly transformed contemporary art.
Surveying their careers offers a wealth of previously untold histories. Anonymous Was A Woman also includes contributions by coeditors Nancy Princenthal and Vesela Sretenoviฤ, along with commentaries by other women scholars, as well as a round-table discussion featuring founder Susan Unterberg.
