Dinah Fried, Artist

The Bell Jar


Moby Dick


Oliver Twist

The Catcher In The Rye

Alice In Wonderland
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo




While we've spent a large portion of the last month recreating meals from famous movies, a rather dedicated graphic designer called Dinah Fried has decided to go down the literary route. She chose five meals from classic books and took a set of brilliantly minimalist photos so we can see what they would actually look like. Unsurprisingly, we'd be choosing the cheese sandwich on toast with a chocolate milkshake from Catcher in the Rye over Oliver Twist's bowl of porridge. That portion looks a bit measly…

“There were old, half-rotten vegetables; bones from the evening meal, covered in white sauce that had gone hard; a few raisins and almonds; some cheese that Gregor had declared inedible two days before; a dry roll and some bread spread with butter and salt….”

The Dinner Party, an important icon of 1970s feminist art and a milestone in 
twentieth-century art, is presented as the centerpiece around which the 
Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is organized. The Dinner Party 
comprises a massive ceremonial banquet, arranged on a triangular table with 
a total of thirty-nine place settings, each commemorating an important woman 
from history. The settings consist of embroidered runners, gold chalices and 
utensils, and china-painted porcelain plates with raised central motifs that are 
based on vulvar and butterfly forms and rendered in styles appropriate to the 
individual women being honored. The names of another 999 women are inscribed 
in gold on the white tile floor below the triangular table. This permanent installation 
is enhanced by rotating Herstory Gallery exhibitions relating to the 1,038 women 
honored at the table.
The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art was established through the 
generosity of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Foundation.
