Judy Chicago tells her story of womanhood in this limited edition print of her landmark 1973 painting.

Let It All Hang Out is a portrait of female pleasure and orgasm, symbolically represented by the central core and biomorphic shapes that ripple outwards – emblematic of Judy's unique yonic iconography that has come to define her career.

But back when Judy created this artwork, the idea of women enjoying sex was even more taboo than it remains today: "When I painted Let It All Hang Out, it scared me to death because it is about the power of female sexuality and the pulsing nature of female orgasm. I love that painting."

The print is embellished with a silkscreen shimmer layer, emulating the hypnotic irradiance of the original large-scale painting.

Judy Chicago is a legendary artist who has brightened the future for women in art. Today, she is considered a pioneer of the feminist art movement, but when she began her career the genre barely existed. Born in 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, she grew up in a politically active Jewish household where gender equality was the norm. This progressive upbringing, however, didn't prepare her for the art world’s stark sexist reality. In the 1960s, during her studies at UCLA, she created her now historic Car Hoods (1965) – bold, colorful works featuring yonic patterns on automobile hoods. When the pieces faced harsh criticism from her peers and tutors, Judy's confidence was shaken. So she decided to hide the fact she was a woman by conforming to the male-dominated Minimalist movement of the 1960s. Even while self-restrained by Minimalism, her inert talent for form, color, and composition was inescapable, and the works still garnering much attention in the art world.
