How many Female Artists can you name?
Some research has been recently made that over the centuries very few female artists had their artwork displayed in Art Galleries, very few are known, 1% in London Galleries. If you studied Art as a degree, how many women were mentioned? If you read a book about Artists, how many of them were women?
"Who decides which artists are remembered and which are forgotten? With only a small fraction of the art in museums by women, efforts are being made, at the Venice Biennale and further afield, to change long-standing narratives".
