"[T]his is the ultimate question that I want to ask my predecessors from 100 years ago: What happened to these women artists? Its almost as though they were consciously written out of art history. I dont really know. Was it ignorance or was it purposeful?"
Katy Hessel"[About the Guerilla Girls] Essentially, what they unveiled was the fact that museums are celebrating the history of patriarchy, as opposed to the history of art. And if were not seeing art by a wide range of people and subjects of a wide range of people, then we’re not seeing society as a whole."
