Judy Chicago, Baltic Gateshead Until 19 April 2020
Happy 80th, Judy Chicago! The punchy painter, sculptor and pioneer of feminist art is finally getting her just desserts with her first major UK survey show at Baltic Gateshead. The greatest hits of Chicago’s 50-year practice will be on display alongside lesser-known performance
pieces from her younger years. Further highlights include pyrotechnic art from across the decades, such as 1972’s Smoke Bodies (pictured opposite) and A Purple Poem for Miami (pictured above), a 2019 “smoke performance” for the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami.
