A new work from Judy Chicago, fifty years in the making: Judy Chicago: Revelations is the work she thought would never see the light of day. Her captivating narrative combatting the erasure of women from history unites seamlessly with illustrations first made in the 1970s and new work in a striking, contemporary design.

Revelations is the work that Judy Chicago believed would never be published: a radical retelling of human history in the form of an illuminated manuscript, recovering stories of women that society sought to erase. Begun alongside her iconic installation The Dinner Party in the mid-1970s, and drawing on her intensive research into goddess worship and women's history, Revelations is foundational to Chicago's decades-long practice. It is at once a vibrant narrative and a work of art, fifty years in the making.

Publication coincides with an exhibition at the Serpentine, London, from 22 May to 1 September, Judy Chicago's first solo presentation in a major London institution.
