http://baartquake.blogspot.com/2007/12/where-are-women-not-at-sf-moma.html

I’m sorry to say that the question is still as pressing then as it was now and hasn’t been answered in any better fashion.

Your points compliment her discussion and highlight the ongoing need for attention to gender inequality in art history and in the prevailing contemporary mindset…or should I say, art history and many museum collections don’t seem to reflect the prevailing contemporary mindset which certainly includes many female artists. You’re right to point out that a re-framing of the artworks in the SFMOMA collection could very well accommodate more female artists. It’s precisely the reliance on troupes for exhibition, and colloquial insights to the past that make so many galleries and museum shows across the nation boring and devoid of perspective. Your voice as well as Wagner’s carry the authority and insight to influence the course of such these meta-topics. I look forward to Part 2.

I’m sad to see Anne Wagner and Tim Clark leave, but I’m sure they’re off to greener pastures.

Some thoughts for your list: how about adding a few more important French women artists like Annette Messager, Sophie Calle, or the younger Tatiana Trouve? or the German, Candida Hofer? Regardless, it sounds like an amazing “fantasy” exhibition!

A very interesting interview with Gary Garrels. I think that he’s a sweet man and I also believe that he has tried to be inclusive.

Anne Truitt is my kind of artist…VIVA ANNE!
