NYC feminist art center marks 5th anniversary [View all]

The Brooklyn Museum's feminist art center is marking its fifth anniversary this year by commemorating famous women of the next millennium - placing them alongside luminaries of the past.

The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is using Judy Chicago's work, "The Dinner Party," a massive triangular banquet table, to envision a place where these high achievers might meet.

Each wing of Chicago's triangle pays tribute to a millennium - 13 women for each - beginning with primordial goddesses and ending with notable women in the 20th century; 999 other female names are inscribed in gold in the tiled floor.
