Tackling the Gender Gap in Art History
In the collections of major cultural institutions in Australia and internationally, the art of women has not been represented to the same depth or degree as that of men. Historical gender bias and its impacts on collection development are increasingly being recognised. Join Dr Caroline Campbell, Director of Collections and Research at National Gallery, London and Dr Deborah Hart, Henry Dalrymple Head Curator of Australian Art at the National Gallery of Australia, in a conversation with Alexie Glass-Kantor, Executive Director Artspace, to address why so few women artists are represented in the national collections of these institutions and how this gender gap is being addressed.
