She’s Got What It Takes
American Women Artists in Dialogue
By Deanna Sirlin.
She’s Got What It Takes gathers American painter and installation artist Deanna Sirlin’s essays on the lives and work of nine historically important (and frequently marginalized) living American women artists: Jennifer Bartlett, Louise Fishman, Jane Freilicher, Joyce Kozloff, Elaine Reichek, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Joan Snyder, Pat Steir and Betty Woodman. A fan of these artists for more than 30 years, Sirlin decided to visit and talk with each of them in their studios or at their galleries, most of which are in New York--indeed, many of these artists are key protagonists in the city’s art culture of the past 50 years. Sirlin’s essays are built around these conversations, lending them an intimate, chatty tone full of observations on the artists’ working environments, their décor and contents, and testimony by Sirlin to their importance for her.
