Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sister Chapel (1974-78) was an important collaborative installation that materialized at the height of the women’s art movement. It consisted of an eighteen-foot ceiling that hung above eleven canvases - each depicting the figure of a heroic woman - portrayed by distinguished New York painters. Based on previously-unpublished archival material, this study details the fascinating history of The Sister Chapel, its constituent paintings, and its ambitious creators.
