Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The Guerrilla Girls were founded in 1985 as a reaction to an exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art which featured the work on 169 artists of whom only 13 were women. Since then, wearing guerrilla masks and calling themselves 'your cultural conscience', they have staged stunts on the issue of discrimination against women and minorities in the arts. They have produced around 70 posters on different themes. (information taken from an article in the Guardian, April 2001)
