In Honor of the IWA's 5th anniversary, the IWA has published the poster After Gerhard Richter by artist Joyce Kozloff! In his original work, Richter listed the most prominent intellectuals in world history, only three of whom were women. Kozloff's After Gerhard Richter replaces all the male names with women-naming those who have made significant contributions in the same fields, i.e., architects, artists, composers, philosophers, and writer.
