The Guerilla Girls are a group of anonymous artists and activists interested in promoting gender equality within the art world. Made famous by their poster Do Women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum? and their gorilla-mask disguises, the collective uses a combination of iconic imagery and statistics to disseminate their message. “We try to twist an issue around and present it in a way that hasn’t been seen before, using facts and humor, in the hope of changing people’s mind,” said a masked member of the group. “We take on issues we are passionate about, but we don’t always succeed. If we don’t come up with something we think is worth putting out there, we don’t.” The artists’ work is often displayed in public spaces, and has taken the form of billboards, pamphlets, and museum installations. The Guerilla Girls was founded in 1985 in reaction to The Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition “An International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture,” which included 13 female artists and 152 male artists. Soon after, members protested the lack of work by women in a number of major art institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Since their founding, the Guerilla Girls have been critiqued for a lack of racial diversity and promoting essentialist feminist, issues which the group has since attempted to resolve. The group’s work is currently held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate Gallery in London, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others.

John Baldessari:
It is hard to characterize John Baldessari's varied practice—which includes photomontage, artist’s books, prints, paintings, film, performance, and installation—except through his approach of good-humored irreverence. Baldessari is commonly associated with Conceptual or Minimalist art, though he has called this characterization “a little bit boring.” His two-dimensional works often incorporate found images, composed in layers or presented as distinct pieces with an element of surprise, like a brightly colored geometric shape in the place of a face or a starkly printed sardonic caption. Baldessari has demonstrated a lasting interest in language and semantics, articulating these concerns through the use of puns or the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated images and words, as in his 1978 work Blasted Allegories. His self-referencing photomontages and use of text have been sources of inspiration for countless artists, including Cindy Sherman, David Salle, and Barbara Kruger. Baldessari identifies his own artistic lineage, saying, "I would prefer to go to the source with Duchamp rather than credit Warhol as an influence."
