Now available again in an expanded edition and featuring a variety of work from artists both well-known and under the radar, this volume explores the pioneering achievements of the Feminist Avant-Garde. For art history, the 1970s represent the beginning of women subverting culturally and socially established constructions and traditional norms. Second-wave feminism, with its slogan "The personal is political", challenged the one-dimensional roles assigned to women--mother, housewife, and spouse. During this period, women artists radically questioned their duties and created a plurality of self-determined representations of themselves. Rejecting traditional male-dominated techniques, such as painting, these artists made use of new media, such as photography, film, video, and performance. The outcome was artwork which was radical, poetic, ironic, bitter, cynical, and heartfelt. This book features more than seventy international female artists, including works by Martha Rosler, Mary Beth Edelson, Ana Mendieta, Nil Yalter, and Ulrike Rosenbach. Editor Gabriele Schor used the term Feminist Avant-Garde in order to emphasize the role that these artists played in the last four decades. This new edition has been enriched with twenty-five new artists--Emma Amos, Dara Birnbaum, Rose English, Natalia LL, among others--as well as up-to-date research on feminist exhibitions, catalogues, and periodicals. Each artist is introduced by an essay and the book also includes fascinating texts by leading scholars. "With greater energy than any artistic movement before, the feminist avant-garde of the 1970s deconstructed society's image of womanhood, dismantling centuries' worth of projections, stereotypes, and male hegemony. For the first time in the history of art, women, in an act of collective consciousness-raising, took the representation of their sex in visual art into their own hands and unfolded a wide spectrum of self-determined female identities: provocative and radical, poetic and ironic. Gabriele Schor, director of the Sammlung Verbund Collection, coined the term the Feminist Avant-Garde in order to highlight the pioneering achievements of these artists. This book presents over six hundred works in the Sammlung Verbund Collection created by forty-eight women artists. Established in Vienna in 2004 by VERBUND AG, Austria's leading electricity provider and one of the largest producers of hydropower in Europe, the collection has two main foci: "Perceptions of Spaces and Places" and the "Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s"

Leurs œuvres sont provocantes, radicales, poétiques ou ironiques… Présentant les travaux de 64 femmes artistes, ce livre dévoile comment, dans les années 1970, celles-ci ont repris contrôle de la représentation féminine dans la photographie, la vidéo et l’art de la performance. Opérant un changement drastique dans la perception des femmes dans l’art, et à rebours de la projection traditionnelle des fantasmes masculins, ces artistes ont donné à voir une nouvelle « image de la femme ». L’ouvrage, à travers cinq thématiques phares (Femme au foyer/Mère/Épouse ; Enfermement/Évasion ; Dictat de la beauté/Corps féminin ; Sexualité féminine ; Identité/Jeu de rôle), présente ainsi une large variété d’œuvres, qui tour à tour dénoncent le sexisme, les inégalités sociales ou les structures du patriarcat. La conservatrice et fondatrice de la Collection Sammlung Verbund, Gabriele Schor, se réfère à ce moment charnière comme à l’« avant-garde féministe », soulignant le rôle pionnier joué par ces artistes qui ont rejeté ce qui avait toujours précédé. Donnant naissance à de nouveaux modes d’expression dans tous les domaines artistiques, celles-ci ont porté une voix émancipatrice qui continue encore aujourd’hui à inspirer la génération contemporaine.
