    Guerrilla Girls vs. Carrie Mae Weems

    For Day 11 we have two previous winners once again competing – this time against each other! We are proud to see two works of art that call out sexism and racism. Which one will move to the next round?

    Guerrilla Girls
    Do Women Have to be Naked to Get Into the Met. Museum?, 1989
    Offset lithograph on paper
    University Purchase
    Samek Art Museum Collection,
    2000.1.3

    Fun Fact: This artwork has been translated into many different languages, and has been updated numerous times to reflect changing stats.

    Carrie Mae Weems
    Not Manet’s Type, 2001
    Offset photolithograph on paper
    University Purchase
    Samek Art Museum Collection,

    Fun Fact: In addition to art, Carrie Mae Weems has also studied modern dance and folklore! We aren’t the only ones who think she is smart – in 2013 she won a MacArthur Genius Grant!

    And the Winner is Not Manet’s Type!
