A new compilation documenting the work of the Guerrilla Girls over the last 35 years. They have been calling out the art world to advocate for better representation of women and artists of color in museum collections, gallery shows, exhibition reviews, and financial compensation. They are unsung masters of infographics, combining depressing statistics with wit and tongues firmly in cheek.

Thank you, GG, for all of your work, though I wish it was no longer necessary. Sadly, the more things change, the more things stay the same. Although there has been incremental progress, it is not enough. More can and needs to be done. Alas, this book ends in early 2019, so there is nothing about recent attempts at unionization by art workers, especially in New York and Los Angeles. Many institutions, such as the Minneapolis Institute of Art, were re-examining their collections and how they describe them. And then the pandemic hit, and many museums have permanently laid off workers. The Guerrilla Girls work to increase diversity is even more vital during this year of reckoning, ( )

Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly is the first book to catalog the entire career of the Guerrilla Girls from 1985 to present.

The Guerrilla girls are a collective of political feminist artists who expose discrimination and corruption in art, film, politics, and pop culture all around the world.

This book explores all their provocative street campaigns, unforgettable media appearances, and large-scale exhibitions.
Each copy comes with a punch-out gorilla mask that invites readers to step up and join the movement themselves.
Captions by the Guerrilla Girls themselves contextualize the visuals.
Explores their well-researched, intersectional takedown of the patriarchy
In 1985, a group of masked feminist avengers—known as the Guerrilla Girls—papered downtown Manhattan with posters calling out the Museum of Modern Art for its lack of representation of female artists.

They quickly became a global phenomenon, and the fearless activists have produced hundreds of posters, stickers, and billboards ever since.
More than a monograph, this book is a call to arms.
This career-spanning volume is published to coincide with their 35th anniversary.
Perfect for artists, art lovers, feminists, fans of the Guerrilla Girls, students, and activists
Add it to the shelf with books like Wall and Piece by Banksy, Why We March: Signs of Protest and Hope by Artisan, and Graffiti Women: Street Art from Five Continents by Nicholas Ganz
