TextPublisher: London : Thames & Hudson, 2018Description: 240 pages : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 24 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780500239704 (hbk.) :Subject(s): Art and society | Art museums -- Curatorship | Artists and art museum curators | Art museum curators -- Political activity | Sex discrimination against women | Race discrimination | Art and Design | Art and DesignDDC classification: 701'.03 Summary: Only 16% of the most recent Venice Biennale artists were female. A mere 14% of MoMA's 2016 display is by non-white artists. Only one third of artists represented by US galleries are female, but over two-thirds of the enrolment in art and art-history programmes is young women. The fight for gender and race equality in the art world is far from over. Indeed, the more closely one examines the numbers, the more glaring it becomes that white, Euro-American, heterosexual, privileged and, above all, male artists continue to dominate the art world. Arranged in thematic sections focusing on feminism, race and sexuality, this book examines and illustrates pioneering examples of exhibitions that have broken down boundaries and demonstrated that new approaches are possible.
