Female Artists in the Market, the View from London

June 4, 2013 by Marion Maneker

Women in art auditThe Guardian has published the results of gender equality advocates the East London Fawcett Group’s study of women artists and the art market:

Frieze Art Fair, an annual showcase of leading international artists, provided some interesting results. 27.5% of the artists represented at the art fair in 2012 were women. The results are a reflection of a survey that took in 3,441 artists across 135 international galleries that were represented in the commercial section of Frieze Art Fair 2012.

However, 23.3% of solo exhibitions hosted by commercial galleries in the capital during Frieze week presented female artists – an increase on the 11.6% figure that Laura McLean- Ferris found in 2008 when she conducted a similar survey
