"Great Women Artists" is the most comprehensive female artist's book of all time, with over 400 fascinating artworks and showcases captivating female creativity for five centuries: Petah Coyne, Marina Abramović, Helen Frankenthaler, Agnes Martin, and Frida Kahlo are listed in this book. In the museums, art galleries, and art markets, female artists who have been neglected in the past are rising irresistibly and gradually gaining recognition.

The book not only introduces the artist's masterpieces, but also intersperses brief comments, revealing an appealing art history, and opening up the path of multiple voices in this era. As the New Yorker commented: "Real changes are upon us, and today one can reel off the names of a number of first-rate women artists. Nevertheless, women are just getting started." Nunu Fine Art joins you to witness the precious moment when women shine.
