As a graduate student at Yale in the ‘60s, I began to use the phallus as a metaphor for feminism and male posturing.  At the time, Yale was an all-male undergraduate program.  I became fascinated with explicit graffiti that I discovered in men’s bathrooms, finding inspiration in raw humour and unedited scrawls.  Aggression and humour are strongly connected in my work.  Graffiti influences can be traced throughout my entire body of work.  I confront war with very graphic, in-your-face words and images.  Stuffed phalluses, blood and semen juxtapose national imagery and the US flag.  It’s funny – but it’s dead serious! There’s a gritty and visceral quality to these political drawings.  Beyond these themes, my work delves into the multiple layers of the human psyche.  My art confronts the viewer with the urgency and complexity of human relationships - issues that perpetually arise and tension that resonate from our origins to today. \"  -Judith Bernstein, New York, 2016.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739850187025,"sku":"NGR9783906803197","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3906803198.jpg?v=1751350676"},{"product_id":"rising-book-johanna-fateman-thomas-micchel-9788269020915","title":"Rising","description":"Texts by Maurizio Cattelan, Johanna Fateman, and Thomas MicchelliThis publication is the first major catalogue of the work of feminist artist Judith Bernstein, and was created in conjunction with the artist's retrospective at Kunsthall Stavanger, Norway in 2016. A former Guerilla Girl and founding member of A. I. R Gallery, New York, Bernstein has worked consistently for over five decades despite censorship and periods of art world neglect. Titled Judith Bernstein Rising, the catalogue serves as the first publication to contextualize Bernstein's vast oeuvre within the history of art, feminism, and the American socio-political climate of the late-20th century. The catalogue presents a variety of archival images tracing the artist's fifty-year career from the 1960s through the present day, as well as installation images from the exhibition at Kunsthall Stavanger, and commissioned texts from artist and writer Thomas Micchelli, and Le Tigre band member and writer Johanna Fateman, as well as an interview by artist Maurizio Cattelan.  ","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49777410507025,"sku":"NGR9788269020915","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50397643440401,"sku":"CIN8269020915VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8269020915.jpg?v=1751033309"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-judith-bernstein.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
