  • ""-- The first history of lesbian art in the United States. Including profiles of eighteen prominent lesbian artists, Lesbian Art in America was the recipient of a Lambda Literary Award in the category of Lesbian Studies. In the early 1990s she described herself in New Feminist Criticism as "an artist, a feminist, a lesbian, middle-class, white. When I'm good, I'm an artist. When I'm bad I'm a feminist. And when I'm horrid, I'm a goddam dyke. I feel like being horrid these days. Given the current political climate around art and the threat of being artistically silenced for being queer and female, I can't afford to be quiet or to let others define who I am and what kind of art I may or may not make." Throughout her career Hammond has expressed her artistic and political sensibility within the boundaries of modernist and abstract forms. Her works tend to be substantial, intensely colored, and ambiguous."
  • ""The first history of lesbian art in the United States, this volume documents works since 1970 within the context of gay culture and political activism. Authoritative and engaging, this is a "from the trenches" story of which women made what, when, and where . Hammond moves from the mainstream art world to alternative venues, weaving a compelling narrative complete with critical and theoretical discourse. Profiles of 18 prominent lesbian artists, from Kate Millett and Joan Snyder to Deborah Kass and Catherine Opie, complete this groundbreaking contribution to contemporary art history."--Jaquette."
