The document discusses several post-war American artists including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Louise Nevelson, Chuck Close, Richard Estes, Edward Kienholz, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and Judy Chicago. It provides background on their works and styles, such as Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans, Lichtenstein's comic book-inspired paintings, Nevelson's sculptural assemblages, and Chicago's large-scale feminist artwork The Dinner Party. The document also examines debates around authenticity in Pop Art and strategies used in Photorealism to represent space and objects.

29. Judy Chicago, The Dinner Party, 1979 Because we are denied knowledge of our history, we are deprived of standing upon each others shoulders and building upon each others hard earned accomplishments. Instead we are condemned to repeat what others have done before us and thus we continually reinvent the wheel. The goal of The Dinner Party is to break this cycle.
