SOME LIVING AMERICAN WOMEN ARTISTS. 1972. SIGNED & NUMBERED FROM EDITION OF 500.

1. N.p.: s.p. (Mary Beth Edelson), 1972
   63.5 x 96.8cm, b/w offset lithograph on paper. A major artwork in the history of the recognition of women artists – Mary Beth Edelson’s best known print is a parody of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper where she replaced the men and added around the borders photographs of more than 80 women artists. Edelson meant for her “Dada gesture” to operate on a number of levels, making room for women in a male dominated art world while also taking on a male dominated religion.
   Some of the 80 artists are Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Elaine de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Nancy Graves, Lila Katzen, Lee Krasner, Georgia O’Keeffe, Louise Nevelson, Yoko Ono, M. C. Richards, Alma Thomas, and June Wayne.

This is a very hard to find item – signed and numbered in pencil bottom right from the edition of 500.
There is some edge damage bottom left (which framing would easily hide) and mild handling creases and very slight grubbiness in borders but overall VG and this is rarely encountered.
