Despite Judy Chicago's incredible productivity and popularity, design objects like this exquisite cloisonné brooch, created in the 1980s. are very scarce. This work is dated 1987, with Judy Chicago's original incised signature and copyright. The brooch depicts the original “Hildegard of Bingen” place setting from The Dinner Party. (For inspiration only, we are showing a photograph of Hildegard Dinner Party setting in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum). Hildegard of Bingen (or Saint Bingen) was a German Christian mystic and visionary who lived between 1098-1179. Her other-worldly visions inspired her much celebrated and studied writings, music compositions, and philosophy. In addition to her religious pursuits, Hildegard wrote volumes on medical diagnosis and treatment along with scientific findings and documentation, she is credited as the founder of scientific natural science in Germany. As Judy Chicago writes in the attached documentation, "Hildegarde of Bingen was one of the greatest and most original thinkers of Medieval Europe. She was an abess, a scientist, a leading medical woman, a scholar, a musician and prolific composer, political and religious figure and a visionary. Her writings are among the earliest most important mystic works of the Middle Ages...I have adopted the design of her plate, which relates to the image of a stained glass window, for this pin, which is meant to be worn in commemoration of women's rich heritage.."
Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party is a groundbreaking work of feminist art and is a transformative accomplishment in American art of the 20th century. It debuted to much sensationalism in 1979, The Dinner Party ultimately toured several continents reaching an audience of millions. After many years in storage, in 2007 it re-opened in its permanent home at the (likely soon to be re-named!) Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, New York. Judy Chicago conceptualized this large-scale installation to serve as a symbolic history of women in Western civilization. The Dinner Party is comprised of a huge ceremonial banquet table with 39 place-settings. Each place-setting commemorates a historical or mythical female figure including artists, goddesses, activists, and martyrs. Each of these unique place-settings includes a hand-painted plate depicting a brightly-colored and elaborately styled pattern (often in forms that recall female sexual organs). Like many of the elements of The Dinner Party, this cloisonné pin similarly embellishes and celebrates a marginal (but radical) figure from the history of civilization and feminist history.

The design’s appeal was timeless, yet also emblematic of the idealistic and free-loving 1960s. As art legend has it, Indiana was first bemused and later conflicted about the instant runaway success of his design, worried that it may have ruined his reputation among the art world elite as a one-hit wonder. Despite the artist’s private insecurities, “LOVE” remains one of the most treasured works in 20th-century American sculpture—breaking $4.1 million at auction in 2011. Another edition from this authorized, artist approved series recently sold at Christie's in Paris for over $12,000.

- Christ Pantocrator after an Russian icon of the 15th CenturyLocated in Segovia, ESChrist Pantocrator after a Russian icon of the 15th Century. Tempera and gold leaf on gesso over a wooden board. Measurements in centimeters: 38 x 29.5 x 3 cm. / In inches: 14.96 x 11.8 x 1.18 " This is how the artist sums up the technique used by him to create the icon: “The aim of these steps is to create a durable painting. The icon is eternal. The first step is to choose a support, traditionally made of wood, from the center of the trunk to avoid warping it. For this purpose, two hardwood bolts were often used on the back to give the picture panel additional stability. Often a frame is milled out. Then the image carrier is sanded smooth and now 12 or 14 thin layers of gesso are applied and sanded smooth as well. Then the preliminary drawing is applied and the drawing board is prepared with a special preparation called bolus. This bolus can be polished to a high gloss. Afterwards, the gold leaf is "shot" with special brushes. It dries up within a few hours and can now be polished with agate. Gold leaf is real 24-carat gold. Now does the actual process of painting begins. Egg tempera is made fresh from egg yolk, water, and a little vinegar. This is used to prepare the color pigments. Tempera painting is done in numerous layers from dark to light. When the icon is finished, it is left to dry for a few months and varnished with a special varnish called Olifa made from boiled linseed oil and other ingredients”.
