Brooklyn Museum’s Feminist Art Center Celebrates 5th Anniversary
BROOKLYN (AP) — The Brooklyn Museum’s feminist art center is marking its fifth anniversary this year by commemorating famous women of the new millennium — placing them alongside luminaries of the past.
The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is using Judy Chicago’s work, “The Dinner Party,” a massive triangular banquet table, to envision a place where these high achievers might meet.
Each wing of Chicago’s triangle pays tribute to a millennium — 13 women for each — beginning with primordial goddesses and ending with notable women in the 20th century; 999 other female names are inscribed in gold in the tiled floor.
