Guerrilla Girls, an American group of art activism, founded in 1985 with an aim of bringing attention to female artists and artists of color, an exposing domination of white males in the art world. In 1985 the Museum of Modern Art in New York City mounted a large exhibition titled “An International Survey of painting and sculpture,” (Interview magazine, 2012) in which only 13 women out of a total of 169 artists were included. The group remained anonymous and assumed alias’ of famous women artists of the past. They research statistics on discrimination and made their finding public via posters that were strongly worded, “Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?” (Guerrilla girls, inc, 2016) but displayed as ironic sense of humor.
