Description: "A collective of women artists active from 1973-1986, Mother Art employed performance, installation, photography, video, and printed material to engage the social and political issues of the times. Using narratives of their own as well as those of other women, the group personalized these issues as they affected women's lives at a time of change and turmoil in social and political relations."--T.p. verso.
Notes: "This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition on Doin' It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman's Building, October 1, 2011-January 28, 2012, organized by the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design and supported by the Getty's initiative Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980."--T.p. verso.
