The final and most dimensional plate at The Dinner Party belongs to the only woman who was still alive when her table setting was completed, Georgia O’Keeffe. The plate representing O’Keeffe lifts itself up from the table, suggesting the increased freedom of expression possible for O’Keeffe, her female contemporaries, and the women following in her footsteps. To Chicago, The Dinner Party is a challenge to continue to change the way history is written and women are represented—a model for future work. Posted by Isabella KapurJudy Chicago (American, born 1939).
