A colourful and insightful introduction to the lives of the world's most renowned and inspirational artists. This informative book invites young readers to discover the creative practices of female artists who, over their careers, broke boundaries and exceeded expectations. Each page reveals their struggles and successes, demystifying the art world, building confidence and inspiring a new generation. With foreword by Tate's first female director, Maria Balshaw, and biographical entries on over thirty artists, this book contains unique interviews with living artists including Rachel Whiteread, Yayoi Kusama and Paula Rego.
‘The Bigger Picture’ is a beautifully illustrated tome paying tribute to women in contemporary art. -- Frances Hedges
The book shapes a holistic understanding of the art world and how it functions ... Another lovely aspect of this book is the original interviews with sixteen of the thirty artists, among them Lorna Simpson, Lubaina Himid and Cindy Sherman—which I imagine will pique a young imagination. * Elephant Magazine *
