Jane Addams’ Chair Copper plated steel, 24 x 23 x 14 inches, 2012 This piece is a tribute to one of America’s most formidable women: a diminutive glowing copper-clad chair modeled after the nursery rocker of the early 20th C reformer Jane Addams. Addams struggled all her life with illness, pain and depression, but her passionate devotion to improving public health, advancing social justice, furthering world peace, and attaining the vote for women led to her being awarded the Noble Peace Prize—the ﬁrst awarded to a woman. Like its namesake, Jane Addam’s Chair has a compelling strength that far exceeds its small, unassuming presence. 48

About

Women’s Right’s: An Artist’s Perspective is an exhibition in support of Women’s Rights and the passage of the ERA. Artists were asked to become part of the celebration and effort to ratify the ERA through expressing their voices and showcasing their art. Art displayed is in all media that speaks to, examines and explores the social, political and economic issues related to women’s activism; art that expresses the women’s perspective on issues of women’s rights, political rights, reproductive rights, the ERA and issues of societal control. The art ranges from literal to poetic, abstract to representational, and psychological, to social and political commentary. Full catalogue is 180 pages of artwork juried by Karen Gutfreund, Curator; and members of UniteWomen.org. Features 35 works for the Pam Foss Fine Art Gallery and 173 for the online gallery and exhibition catalog. http://www.unitewomen.org
