"Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?"
The Guerrilla Girls emerged in New York in 1985 as an anonymous artists¿ collective dedicated to feminist activism. Known for using gorilla masks to cover their faces, the group¿s members take on the names of deceased women artists like Frida Kahlo, Eva Hesse, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Käthe Kollwitz, Gertrude Stein and Georgia O¿Keeffe, thereby concealing their true identities from the world and promoting the achievements of those women.
In its more than 35 years of existence, the collective has produced countless posters, books, stickers, drawing projects, graphic publications and magazines about sexism and discrimination against women in the visual arts, film and culture in general. Portfolio Compleat includes this entire repertoire, where they appropriate the visual language of advertising and marketing to communicate their messages in a clear, direct way.
