Four hundred women, led by artist Judy Chicago , spent five years creating a huge banquet table, with beautiful ceramics, embroidery and painting. Each place-setting represents one of the most influential women in history and mythology, and the whole banquet is a frank and joyful celebration of female accomplishment and sexuality. It became the most talked-about art event of the year, yet this Sunday in New York it will be closed up, packed into crates, and stored away. Though it broke box-office records in Boston and San Francisco, with daily queues round the block, no other gallery has offered it a home. Tonight's film follows, month by month, the art, craft and argument that went into this astonishing work.
