Additional Information

Poster of The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist, 1988, by Guerrilla Girls.

In 1988, the original screenprinted posters that this one pays homage to were fly-posted overnight in the fashionable New York art district of Soho. In bold type print, the satirical black on white poster proclaims the ‘advantages’ of being a woman artist as:

Working without the pressure of success
Not having to be in shows with men
Having an escape from the art world with your 4 free-lance jobs
Knowing your career might pick up after you’re eighty
Being reassured that whatever kind of art you make it will be labelled feminine
Not being stuck in a tenured teaching position
Seeing your ideas live on in the work of others
Having the opportunity to choose between career and motherhood
Not having to choke on those big cigars or paint in Italian suits
Having more time to work when your mate dumps you for someone younger
Being included in revised versions of art history
Not having to undergo the embarrassment of being called a genius
Getting your picture in the art magazines wearing a gorilla suit

The last part of the text reads:
A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD

At 45 x 60 cm, this poster is very similarly sized to the original Guerrilla Girls 1988 screenprint. It’s printed on FSC certified paper.

The poster is part of our Guerrilla Girls Tate Edit takeover, a celebration of art and activism curated by the masked artists themselves. Formed in New York City in 1985, Guerrilla Girls strive to ‘fight discrimination through humour, activism, and the arts’, highlighting sexism, racism and elitism in the art world. They conceal their identities, often with gorilla masks, and use pseudonyms. They continue to produce publicity exposing discrimination, as well as conducting seminars and workshops in schools, colleges and art institutions.
