25 Women: Essays On Their Art

The book collects Dave Hickey’s best and most important writing about female artists from the past twenty years. But this is far more than a compilation: Hickey has revised each essay, bringing them up to date and drawing out common themes. 

• Written by Dave Hickey in his trademark style—accessible, witty, and powerfully illuminating
• 25 Women analyzes the work of Joan Mitchell, Bridget Riley, Fiona Rae, Lynda Benglis, Karen Carson, and many others.
• Discusses artists works as work, bringing politics and gender into the conversation when warranted by the art itself
• Offers a reflection on the life and role of the critic in the art world

Dave Hickey is former executive editor of Art in America, and has served as a contributing editor for the Village Voice and as the arts editor of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Hickey's work is described as 'always engaging and never dull'.
