Exhibit in Philadelphia Explores Legacy of Women in Pop --ArtDaily.org


"Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists 1958-1968," an exhibit at the University of the Arts from Friday until March 15, focuses exclusively on the forgotten women of Pop Art and shows about 50 works — some not seen publicly in 40 years — of 20 female Pop artists from the United States and around the world ...
...As radical social changes rocked 1960s America, the contemporary art world remained largely a boys' club that largely ignored female Pop artists as their male counterparts grew to become icons of the era, according to a new exhibit.
... women have been systematically excluded from the art world since the 16th century, and Pop Art was marginalized by academics and critics because of its popularity and humor. Add to that a perception among gallery owners that "female artists don't sell" and the fact that women often put their careers on hold to raise children
