Judy Chicago (b. 1939, Chicago, IL; lives in Belen, NM) is an internationally celebrated feminist artist whose radical explorations of gender, power, and social justice have had a profound impact on contemporary art for over five decades. In 1968, Chicago began working with fireworks and flares in durational performances titled Atmospheres that momentarily “feminized” found environments, as in this piece. Chicago’s work has been featured in numerous international and national group exhibitions, including most recently at the MCA in The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970–2020 (2024–25). Her recent solo exhibitions include presentations at LUMA, Arles, France; Serpentine, London; and the New Museum, New York. Her work is in the MCA Collection and numerous other public collections, including that of the Art Institute of Chicago; British Museum, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC. Her landmark installation The Dinner Party (1974–79) is on permanent view at the Brooklyn Museum.
