The Reckoning: Women Artists of the New Millennium

This was the text book for one of my classes on Women in Art. I loved the format of this book. Each 'unit' or chapter features 4 or 5 artists. There are usually 3-5 pictures of their work, a short personal history of the artist, and context on their work (like where they're from, what was going on when they made their art, etc.)This book was informative, fun, and accessible. Never felt like I was reading something boring or dated. Loved that my prof used this as her text. Would make a great coffee table book, too!

This is an important read for all emerging artists, especially female, out in the art world today. I am a huge fan of Heartney's writing and she hits it on the head once again.- April Zanne Johnson, MFA

The book is so revealing of the leading edge in the contemporary art world. And it shows the impact that women artists have.

Excellent

A good look at whats popular in contemporary art exhibitions. I'd prefer she kept Tracey Emin out of the book because Emin never learned to draw and has nothing but "Shock-Art" to show for it, but I suppose shes has her place (The Basement) in art history. Anyhow, Heartney's book was difficult to put down and I really enjoyed the book and found it very interesting.Eric BuechelPhoto-Realist Artist/Illustrator
