Women artists information


Bridget Riley, Bolt of Colour, 2017–2019 Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas

The absence of women from the canon of Western art has been a subject of inquiry and reconsideration since the early 1970s. Linda Nochlin's influential 1971 essay, "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?", examined the social and institutional barriers that blocked most women from entering artistic professions throughout history, prompted a new focus on women artists, their art and experiences, and contributed inspiration to the Feminist art movement.[1][2][3] Although women artists have been involved in the making of art throughout history, their work, when compared to that of their male counterparts, has been often obfuscated, overlooked and undervalued. The Western canon has historically valued men's work over women's[4] and attached gendered stereotypes to certain media, such as textile or fiber arts, to be primarily associated with women.[5]

Women artists have been challenged by a lack of access to artistic education, professional networks, and exhibition opportunities.[6] Beginning in the late 1960s and 1970s, feminist artists and art historians involved in the Feminist art movement have addressed the role of women especially in the Western art world, how world art is perceived, evaluated or appropriated according to gender.
