The Guerrilla Girls is an active group of feminists that has pushed the polemical thesis of the under-served female artist in the Contemporary art world. The group formed soon after the 1985 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York entitled An International Survey of Painting and Sculpture, curated by Kynaston McShine. The MoMA exhibition had only 13 women artists in a select group of 169, and all of the artists represented were white. This discriminatory and uneducated biased summary of Contemporary art scene inspired the group to start a finger-pointing campaign using the poster as a public vehicle of knowledge.

The first posters were posted in SoHo in New York City, a then-central location for the Contemporary art world. This lot has 30 posters, all of which are in excellent condition.
