Women Artists Excluded from the "Orthodox Art History"—Reappraisal Progressing in Museums
Museums globally, like the Tate Modern, are actively reappraising women artists historically marginalized from mainstream art history.Summary
Museums worldwide are advancing the reappraisal of women artists whose work was excluded from the "orthodox art history." London's Tate Modern has been focusing on exhibiting female artists, currently featuring the Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous US artist collective critical of unfair treatment toward women and non-Western artists since the 1980s. A curatorial director noted that public awareness regarding identity issues for women and minorities has increased, especially following movements like #MeToo in 2017. Since appointing its first female director in 2016, the Tate Modern has strategically aimed for over 50% of its exhibitions and individual shows to feature women artists, including major exhibitions for figures like Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, and Yoko Ono.
