Default Re: this is my favorite poster



The Dinner Party is a work by Judy Chicago depicting place settings for famous women throughout history. The table is triangular and measuring forty-eight feet on each side. Each place setting features a placemat/tablecloth with the woman's name and artworks relating to the woman's life, along with a napkin, utensils, glass/goblet, and a plate. The plates all feature a butterfly- or flower-like sculpture, representing a woman's vagina. "The Dinner Party elevates female acheivement in Western history to a heroic scale traditionally reserved for men."
