American art star Judy Chicago gets a solo show in her 80s at the Serpentine Gallery,
London (22 May to 1 September), her first major exhibition in a London gallery. Most
famous for her 1970s installation The Dinner Party, which is pretty much Exhibit A of
any feminist history of art, with its famous 39 settings for historic heroines, Chicago has
spent her life fighting male domination of art and culture. The Dinner Party is too
fragile now to travel outside the US, but this show will journey through her career,
mainly via the drawings that underpin all her feminist thinking, and the political
campaigns. Take a friend; prepare to argue. LC
