Hey girl, i saw your caption on that picture you reblogged from me and it occurred to me that you may be a little misinformed! There is a HUGE gap between what men make in the art world vs. what women make. The highest selling piece of art by a man was $67.7 million, whereas by a woman only $6.6 million! There are a lot of factors, some being: female artists have historically been excluded from most museums, only 30% of work in galleries and museums are by women, plus women don’t tend to have factories of assistants churning out work. If you want to boost an artist’s price you need to bring their work to auction again and again.
this isn’t women being ‘butthurt’ and nitpicky, this is female artists being undervalued, it’s not a wack-o feminist opinion, these are cold hard facts.
edit: not that being a feminist is wack-o, feminists stand for equality, and quite frankly if you don’t stand for equality, what do you stand for?
