This display shows the work of the anonymous feminist collective who use daring text and phrases to expose injustice in the art world and beyond

The Guerrilla Girls are an activist group made up of women artists and art professionals. They formed in 1985, in response to an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York which featured only 13 women out of 169 artists. Under the cover of darkness, they fly-posted SoHo street corners, declaring statistics that exposed the gender-based discrimination in museums and art galleries. They hide their identities behind gorilla masks and have adopted pseudonyms of celebrated dead women artists and writers such as Kathë Kollwitz, Frida Kahlo and Gertrude Stein.

Today, the group continue to reveal the racism, sexism and homophobia prevalent in art and society. They are most well-known for text-based posters that drip with wit and sarcasm, holding Euro American institutions accountable for their actions. This dry sense of humour on backgrounds of pop pinks and yellows contrasts with the harrowing story of inequality being told. By using straightforward data and rhetorical questions, the facts speak for themselves.

The art in this room shows the different ways in which Guerrilla Girls play and provoke the museum industry. As well as fly posters, the group have produced stickers, comics and even children’s activity books as part of their agenda to be the ‘conscience of the art world’.

Guerrilla Girls, Top Ten Signs That You’re an Art World Token  1995

Guerrilla Girls Portfolio Compleat Update 1991–2012 is a portfolio of works produced between 1991 and 2012 by the anonymous collective of American female artists known as the Guerilla Girls. It contains fifty-four poster projects of variable dimensions – twenty-six black and white offset lithographs on paper and twenty-eight colour digital prints on paper – alongside a printed plastic bag, three sheets of stickers and two issues of the newsletter Hot Flashes from 1994 (vol.1, nos.2 and 3, and vol.1, no.4). The portfolio also includes three books produced between 1998 and 2012 – The Guerrilla Girls’ Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art, Bitches Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls’ Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes and The Guerrilla Girls’ Art Museum Activity Book – as well as their most recent text, The Hysterical Herstory of Hysteria and How It Was Cured, in digital form on compact disc in advance of publication. Two of the black and white prints are accompanied by postcards addressed to Thomas Krens and Margit Rowell – former director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and chief curator at the Museum of Modern Art, New York respectively – that the public were encouraged to fill in and post as a sign of support for the Guerrilla Girls project. This version of the portfolio has been uniquely compiled for Tate to complement its existing holdings (Guerrilla Girls Talk Back [Tate P78788–P78817], a portfolio of thirty posters produced between 1985 and 1990), and each work is an artists’ proof aside from the edition of fifty.
