Poster, Do Women Have to be Naked to Get into the Met. Museum?, 1989
This is a poster. It was designed by Guerrilla Girls. It is dated 1989 and we acquired it in 2009. Its medium is photo-offset lithograph on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
The Guerrilla Girls, founded in 1985, are a group of anonymous female graphic designers who create unique combination of content and eye catching graphics to present feminist viewpoints in a sly, ironic way. Do Women Have to be Naked to Get into the Met. Museum? is proposed for acquisition along with another Guerrilla Girls poster; the pair would be the first posters by this design group to enter the collection.
This object was featured in our Object of the Day series in a post titled Guerilla Feminism.
