Judy Chicago

Judy Chicago shares the first-ever limited edition print of her legendary Reincarnation Triptych. 

Reincarnation Triptych was originally created in 1973 at the height of the women's liberation movement, part of a series of abstract portraits of important historic women, entitled Great Ladies. Uniting three of her most famous works from the series in one piece for the first time, the artist interprets three literary figures: 19th-century philosopher Madame de Staël, French novelist George Sand and modernist writer Virginia Woolf. Each panel features exactly forty words describing the woman represented, written in the Palmer method, a mode of handwriting which the artist learnt as a child. The work epitomises the artist's signature iconography, with its nuanced colour gradients and hypnotising concentric forms.

This 24-colour silkscreen edition has been hand-crafted at our fine art printmaking studio, Make-Ready. It is finished with matte, satin and sparkle gloss varnish – capturing the ethereal quality of Judy's original work.
