Some Living American Women Artists: Last Supper

A provocative feminist reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic *The Last Supper*, this work by Mary Beth Edelson replaces the figures with the faces of prominent American women artists, centering Georgia O'Keeffe in the place of Christ. Originally created in 1972 as a bold statement challenging the male-dominated art world, this signed and numbered impression (5/100) belongs to the rare World Trade Center Special Edition (Third Edition). The piece remains a landmark work of feminist art history, using the language of sacred imagery to demand recognition and space for women within the artistic canon.
