Art Meets Politics: How Judy Chicago's Dinner Party Came to Brooklyn

An icon of American art, Judy Chicago's Dinner Party is the focus of the new Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. The generous and elegant facility features 8,300 square feet dedicated to showing art reflecting "the core values of feminism—equality and justice." The story of how The Dinner Party came not once, but twice to Brooklyn, exemplifies the nexus of art and politics.
