OK. Here's a real challenge for you ABer's.
I am currently studying this piece of art (?) for my HND course at Uni. Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of the 999 women whose names appear on the floor of this installation?
I have trawled the 'net including Judy Chicago's own website but am having no success.
I can pick out odd names from looking at various photos of the piece but a full comprehensive list is what I really need.
Not much to ask is it?!

The only suggestion I have is to e mail Judy Chicago's site explaining that you are studying the work and see if they will oblige?

A good point - well made!! Don't know why I didn't think of it myself. Thanks.

There are a few books writen by judy Chicago on the subject of the dinner party. Try your university library. I had one in my hand this week but they wouldn't let me borrow it because the pages were falling out, however that doesn't help does it ?

Did you try e mailing Lindseth? I only ask because I am quite interested to know myself!

I confess - not yet. But will do and will post any results to let you know.
Our library not great. Has a book about the needlework aspect of the project and a new, general book on Judy Chicago. I think there are other titles which focus more on the ceramic part of the installation. Maybe this covers the floor in greater depth.
I'll try emailing first.
