Judy Chicago's "Nine Fragments from the Delta of Venus" is an erotic series with an introduction by Anais Nin. Chicago had a friendship with the great French female writer, and Chicago writes in her autobiography about how Nin encouraged her to express her feelings about being a woman artist, in writing--to write about her creative ideas. This prompted Chicago to write nine books, and her friendship with Nin was fundamental in her development as an artist. Thus, this limited edition is an important work in the history of Chicago's career, as well as in the history of art and of women in the arts. "The work is risque, with erotic images throughout. The collector sponsoring this artwork appreciates Chicago+-IBk-s bravery in putting female sensuality out in the open in her art." The prints in this is portfolio are signed, dated and in very good condition.
