Reviews for The Bigger Picture: Women Who Changed the Art World

'The Bigger Picture' is a beautifully illustrated tome paying tribute to women in contemporary art. -- Frances Hedges The book shapes a holistic understanding of the art world and how it functions ... Another lovely aspect of this book is the original interviews with sixteen of the thirty artists, among them Lorna Simpson, Lubaina Himid and Cindy Sherman-which I imagine will pique a young imagination. * Elephant Magazine *
