Bay Area Women Artists' Legacy Project
Introduction by Terri Cohn

I'm happy to announce publication of The Bay Area Women Artists’ Legacy Project book. It was an honor to write the introduction to this book that contextualizes the work of 29 mature women artists within the historic milieu of Bay Area art and artists.

Introduction by Terri Cohn, Realization by Jan Wurm, Creative Direction and Design by Elizabeth Addison and Design and Production by Carol Benioff.

Each of the 29 participating artists donated a book to a museum, library, university or other organization to safeguard and highlight women’s contribution to Bay Area art. This project was initiated by artist luminary Edith Hillinger. She initially wanted to establish a physical archive. Jan Wurm, painter and former Director of Exhibitions and Curator of Art at the Richmond Art Center, realized the project by encouraging the legacy book publication for distribution to libraries, museums, and universities.


​Published August, 2020.

A pioneer in synthesizing science and technology with her personal, feminist practice, Rapoport has emerged as a major figure in late 20th-century conceptual art. Co-published by the Sonya Rapoport Legacy Trust and San Jose Museum of Art, with essays by SJMA Assistant Curator Kathryn Wade and SRLT Director Farley Gwazda.

Sonya Rapoport: Yes or No? 
​Catalogue by Terri Cohn and Alla Efimova

Sonya Rapoport (1923-2015) was a Berkeley-based conceptual artist whose career consistently defied stereotypes and expectations. Yes or No? is an autobiographical work created in the last year of the Rapoport's life. It is a series of twelve seductively complex collages, based on pages of New York Times, that convey the parting observations of an artist who kept ahead of her time for over six decades. Art historians Alla Efimova and Terri Cohn decipher and interpret this tour de force of visual philosophy to make it accessible to Rapoport's viewers and readers.
