“My desire is for visitors to see Judy Chicago not just as a historical figure whose work speaks to the social turmoils of the past, but one whose work, whether old or new, is deeply resonant with the present.”
What’s remarkable about the first comprehensive survey of her work,at San Francisco’s de Young Museum, is seeing how the 82-year-old artist’s commitment to her art has never flagged and how her work has stayed radical over six decades.
Chicago’s work should have gotten recognition throughout her career, Schmuckli said at a preview of the show, bringing up the Guerrilla Girls’ famous 1988 poster,Chicago, who has foundedand made it her mission to fight the erasure of female artists, expressed regret over the setbacks and roadblocks she’d faced as a woman artist. But she said she felt lucky to have continually pursued her vision.

“I see the same hand and the same color sense and the same rigor that came out of my L.A. days,” said Chicago, who earned a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles.“For me, the formal elements of art are there to help us make images that allow people to look at subject matter that maybe they couldn’t look at in any other way,” she said, adding that she can’t talk about the extinction series without bursting into tears.
