The Guerrilla Girls‘ work might never be done.  The activist group — which is featured in the film !Women Art Revolution — began in the 1980s after observing that an exhibit intended to highlight all of the major contemporary artworks actually excluded women; 13 of the 169 artists in this exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York were women.  In 2007 — two decades after the Guerrilla Girls began their work — they created a poster which counters the commonly held belief that everything is copacetic today. On it are the names of several major museums which, at the time, favored work by male and white artists. The National Gallery of Art was described as displaying work by men 98% of the time, and work by white artists 99.9% of the time!

!Women Art Revolution provides footage of female artists since the 1960s.

The film opens this Friday at Real Art Ways and runs through June 30th.
