Gender gap still glaringly obvious in art auctions  The
Independent:    Jordan T-H said...  Artists should be happy they
have customers with so much disposable income to waste on canvas
and plaster. What a bunch of whiney art-school bitc... oh wait.
ellen said...  Wow Jordan how insightful...What may i ask is
whiney about addressing major inequalities in relation to
gender. Art school or no art school- these issues are have an
affect on wider society. We live in an age where art has the
power to affect a far wider audience, it is not limited to a
small elite. These patterns of consumerism i.e male artists
selling their work for a far higher price are therefore of great
discomfort to anyone who enjoys 'a day out an exhibition'not
just for 'art school boffs'.- Whatever your opinion is of
contemporary art i.e 'canvas on plaster' why is 'canvas and
plaster ' by a man selling for more?
