Biographical/Historical Note
The Guerrilla Girls formed in 1985 as an anonymous group determined to fight sexism in the
art world. Their initial strategy was to put up protest posters during the night in the Soho
neighborhood of Manhattan. What residents saw in the morning were statistics printed in
black on white paper, and the numbers spoke for themselves: that only one woman had had a
solo exhibition in a New York Museum in the previous year; that fewer than 10% of artists
shown in top galleries were women; that art magazines devoted less than 25% of coverage to
women artists. Confronting the art world with its patent injustice, the posters caused a
sensation.
The Guerrilla Girls developed their expose over the next two decades, systematically
attacking the arbiters of taste in the art world, including gallerists, critics, curators,
collectors, editors, and even prominent male artists who failed to support their campaign.
To the stark presentation of fact they added wit, using, for example, the format of an
elementary school report card to grade and comment on the galleries' performance with regard
to women artists, or listing the disadvantages of being a woman artist as advantages. It was
frequently this mock reversal of values that was at the core of their effective humor, even
when they moved into the broader political arena to target the Bush-era censorship
campaigns, with messages such as, "Relax, Senator Helms, the art world
is your
kind of place."
The Guerrilla Girls have given lectures and performances dressed as gorillas to pursue the
pun on their name, conceal their identities, and emphasize the primal intelligence and
strength of their political position. Instead of using their given names, they took the
names of women artists from the past as pseudonyms. They have also curated two major
exhibitions. In 1985, their Palladium show exhibited women artists. In 1987, in protest
against the Whitney Biennial's selection of artwork, they curated a counter exhibition,
Guerrilla Girls Review the Whitney, in which they revealed the corporate
ties of the institution. Over the years, they have also produced mass mailings that attacked
reviewers or gallerists with more specificity than a poster allowed; books, including
Confessions of the Guerrilla Girls (1995) and
The Guerrilla Girls'
Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art
(1998); the journal
Hot
Flashes
(1990); and various toys, cards, banners, and other ephemera, often
derived from the poster concepts.

Scope and Content of Collection
Guerrilla Girls records document the activities of the feminist art group, comprising a
complete set of posters, mass mailings, form letters, and other graphic materials, showing
the evolution of their work and their notable expansion of focus from the art world to
George Bush-era politics to New York theater. Series I documents their notorious posters in
chronological order. Series II. Assorted graphic works, shows their assiduous pursuit of
justice through mass and individual mailings about and to various art world figures, along
with the private replies they often received. This series also provides a glimpse into their
collective compositional process, with drafts of posters and comments on them, along with
source material in the form of clippings and statistical reports. Series III concerns books
and serials they created.
Series IV. Photographs, V. Exhibitions, and VI. Lectures and Performances, document the
Guerrilla Girls' non-graphic activity, though the extensive list of venues is not complete.
Of particular interest is Series VIII. Administration files, which includes internal group
memoranda, revealing the sometimes emotional conflicts between members, and the challenges
of non-hierarchical collective self-management. Also included are letters from fans,
business correspondence that offers insight into donors and sponsors, and comprehensive
press clippings.

Scope and Content Note
The series comprises the file folders of 8.5 x 11 inch photocopies, the posters that
were plastered on walls in New York or framed for exhibition, photographs,
photomechanicals, and in some cases, paste-ups or early drafts. The posters are one of
three sizes, here noted as large (24 x 30 inches), medium (17 x 22), and small (11 x 10
1/2), though there is some size variation within each category. Includes the following
oversize containers: 86*, 87*, 90*, flat files 1**, 3**, 7**-9**, 11**-19**. The large
acetate negatives listed below were used in the production of the posters.
Arrangement note
Guerrilla Girls posters are arranged according to the group's own title/date
chronological filing system, which remained fairly consistent until 1990, when the
sequence was altered several times. Titles are usually a shortened version of the
poster's first line.
