Five consecutive issues of Women's Art Magazine, published by the Women's Art Library, London, spanning March to December 1994 — Nos. 57, 58, 59, 60, and 61.

The publication began as the newsletter of the Women Artists Slide Library in 1983, became Women's Art Magazine in 1990, and was renamed MAKE in 1996. Magazine and archive developed together: one circulated interviews, criticism, and exhibition records while the other preserved slides, publications, and ephemera documenting women's art practice. The collection was transferred to Goldsmiths in 2003 and remains active as the Women's Art Library.

This five-issue sequence moves through several of the debates shaping feminist art discourse in 1994. No. 57 addresses family photography and performance, with Barbara Kruger, Sally Mann, Annie Leibovitz, Ana Mendieta, and Ann Hamilton. No. 58 brings together writing on the sublime, Jenny Saville, Hannah Wilke, Eileen Cooper, and Nicholas Serota. No. 59 is the special photography issue — its Cindy Sherman cover introducing contributions on Jo Spence, Nan Goldin, Maud Sulter, Gillian Wearing, Sally Mann, and Candida Höfer. No. 60 turns to sculpture through Louise Bourgeois, Rebecca Horn, Barbara Hepworth, and Mrinalini Mukherjee, alongside Suzi Gablik's interview with the Guerrilla Girls. The final issue foregrounds Linda Nochlin's account of the beginnings of feminist art history and includes Shirazeh Houshiary, Mona Hatoum, Rachel Whiteread, Andrea Zittel, and Jac Leirner.

Together, the five magazines preserve feminist art history while it was still being argued, revised, and distributed — not as a later correction to the record, but as an editorial network operating in real time.

Five staple-bound magazines with colour-printed covers and illustrated editorial content throughout. Condition: good overall; visible handling, light creasing, surface marks, age toning, and minor edge and corner wear. No. 60 has a small abrasion at the right edge; No. 57 shows more pronounced toning and cover wear. Sold as a complete group.
