perspectives 91: rachel hecker: pleasure and commerce
DESCRIPTION
The catalogue accompanies the Houston-based artist’s first solo museum exhibition and focuses on a cycle of eight large paintings that use female nudes and well-known cartoon characters to comment on issues in feminist art history, such as the “male gaze.” Using parody and humor, the artist’s work both conceptually and visually engages the viewer on a number of levels. Includes an essay by Ann Cvetkovich and documentation on the artist’s career. (Exhibition on view April 29 – June 18, 1995)TRANSCRIPT
