Abstract
The article focuses on Judy Chicago’s retrospective exhibitions, "Herstory" at the LUMA Foundation in Arles, France, and "Revelations" at the Serpentine Galleries in London, which collectively showcase her major bodies of work spanning six decades. It highlights Chicago’s pioneering role in feminist art, her challenges against societal norms of femininity, and her contributions to feminist ecology through works addressing women’s history, reproductive rights, and environmental protection. Key pieces include the iconic "The Dinner Party" (1974–79), her "Birth Project" paintings and needlework (1980–85), and recent embroidered banners from "What if Women Ruled the World?" (2020). The exhibitions also emphasize Chicago’s preparatory drawings and lesser-known works, illustrating her lifelong commitment to representing women’s experiences and challenging traditional art historical narratives.
