Guerilla Girls



Flavorwire.com 
While the Guerilla Girls were controversial and highly visible to the Art public' eye their identities remained concealed for a while. They set out to bring to light the long time gender discrimination in the world of art. The felt strongly that there was not enough art created by women in museums and galleries.

So they set out to use the piece above in protest and unfortunately were shot down because it was deemed to provacative. What are your thoughts on this?  Was the piece too provacative?  Why would they allow it on billboards were all could see them in the streets and not in a museum.  Do you think that women have equal opportunities in the art world?  Why or why not?   Explain your answers.
