A heavy book with lots of pictures and essays by different people.
Always good to find new women artists in recent history.
These are artists painting abstract compositions- a lot of artists and a lot of paintings.

This is the best book I have ever read about women abstract expressionist artists. Complementing the brilliant Whitechapel Art Gallery show which uncovered many previously not well known artists, the book is written well by a number of highly knowledgeable critics and curators.
