Firmly established as one of the premier histories of women in the fine arts, Nancy G. Heller''s "Women Artists returns in an expanded fourth edition. With coverage of the 1990s and the beginning of the new millennium, nearly half the volume is now devoted to the remarkable period from 1960 to the present, when women artists emerged as the most dynamic force in contemporary art. New to this edition are innovative contemporary American artists such as Janine Antoni and Judith Schaechter, as well as major international figures, including Iran''s Shirin Neshat, Shahzia Sikander from Pakistan, and the Icelandic sculptor and performance artist Katrin Sigurdardottir. As in past editions, all the artists'' works are represented in large-format color reproductions, and the artists'' careers are examined in concise critical biographies.

Unha escola que, nos seus menos de vinte anos de existencia, conseguiu marcar un antes e un despois en todas as disciplinas da arte: arquitectura, pintura, escultura, deseño de mobles, xoias, roupa influindo a xeracions de profesionais de todo o mundo e dos mais diversos campos relacionados coa creatividade. No entanto, tivo que facer fronte a crua realidade e a oposicion dunha sociedade que, malia que moi aberta na teoria, opuxose ao ver aquelas ideas levadas a practica.

Este libro está dedicado al coleccionismo privado en Estados Unidos y su relación con las instituciones públicas. Al narrar las historias que se esconden tras la creación de muchos de los principales museos de aquel pais, trece autores analizan una larga tradicion de coleccionismo privado y filantropia. Coleccionistas generosos como Henry Clay Frick, Paul Mellon y Solomon e Irene Guggenheim cumplieron sus sueños creando la Frick Collection, la National Gallery of Art de Washington, DC, y el Guggenheim Museum, respectivamente. John G. Johnson lego a la ciudad de Filadelfia su coleccion como un museo independiente que quedo mas tarde bajo la administracion del Philadelphia Museum of Art. El apoyo y la contribucion de Eleanor y Edsel Ford fueron clave para el Detroit Institute of Arts. Samuel Putnam Avery era un marchante, asesor y coleccionista con gran conciencia civica cuya coleccion de porcelana ayudo a formar el Departamento de Arte Asiatico del Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nueva York. Muchos coleccionistas, entre ellos Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, Michael Friedsam, Adelaide de Groot y Martin A. Ryerson, hicieron donaciones significativas a museos ya fundados como el Metropolitan o el Art Institute de Chicago. Por ultimo, el coleccionista Robert Gilmor y seguramente tambien
