The Dinner Party
The Dinner Party is an important icon from the 1970s. It’s presented as a centerpiece around the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. The exhibit comprises of a ceremonial banquet on a table with a total of thirty-nine settings, each of which commemorate an important woman from history. The Dinner Party features embroidered runners, gold chalices and utensils, and beautiful china. It’s quite the beautiful piece. Additionally, there are 999 women who’s names are inscribed in gold on the floor. This is a permanent installation at the Brooklyn Museum.
The Dinner Party immediately caught my attention. Not only did it seem extremely sophisticated, but it’s a huge exhibit and is sure to stand out. I remember spending a lot of my time just walking around the table, appreciating all the art and the beautiful utensils and china. Learning about the Dinner Party was a really good experience too because it allowed me to educate myself on influential females in history.
