| Abstract
|
:
|
This study determined whether the social attitudes and market commerce of female art has changed since Art Historian, Linda Nochlin, wrote her famous essay in 1971 “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” The investigation proved a continued social bias toward women artists and their work compared to their male contemporaries. The study examined how auction house sales, museums and galleries, as well as art education institutions, continue to have gender biased practices toward women artists and the work they produce. The investigation had a specific focus on feminist artist Judy Chicago and her life work with the Womanhouse, The Dinner Party, and the Birth Project. The investigation included interviews from Linda Nochlin and Judy Chicago as well as Griselda Pollock, Rozsika Parker, Sarah Thornton, and Elisabeth A. Sackler regarding the state of women’s art since 1971. The research took a look at the numbers in the art market and the museums using data from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Women’s Bureau in the U.S. Department of Labor, as well as numerous studies regarding the bias of the art market, earnings by gender, sales and attitudes of women in the arts. The implications are that the status of women as art workers and the commerce around female artwork has not significantly changed from 1971. The numbers in sales have risen and artworker wages have increased across both men and women due to inflation, but the percentages of women being shown in museums and galleries compared to men and the gap between the sales of female art versus male is as wide as it has ever been.
