Womens Work Is Never Done

'Women's Work is Never Done' brings together the twenty most important essays by internationally acclaimed art critic and curator Catherine de Zegher. Together with Gerald McMaster, de Zegher has been appointed artistic director of this year's 18th Biennale of Sydney. Her essays on female artists, which have now been collected for the first time, cover a period of thirteen years. Over the years De Zegher's essays launched and consolidated the careers of such artists as Joelle Tuerlinckx, Ann Veronica Janssens, Eva Hesse and Bracha L. Ettinger. Thanks to De Zegher, these artists are now wildly acclaimed and acknowledged in the art world for their cutting edge, groundbreaking artistic activism that has shaped female artistic practice from the late 19th century onwards.
