RELAX SENATOR HELMS,
THE ART WORLD IS
YOUR KIND OF PLACE!
• The number of blacks at an art opening is about the same as at one
of your garden parties.
• Many museum trustees are at least as conservative as Ronald Lauder.
• Because aesthetic quality stands above all, there's never been a need
for Affirmative Action in museums or galleries.
• Most art collectors, like most successful artists, are white males.
• Women artists have their place: after all, they earn less than 1/3 of
what male artists earn.
• Museums are separate but equal. No female black painter or sculptor
has been in a Whitney Biennial since 1973. Instead, they can show at
the Studio Museum in Harlem or the Women's Museum in Washington.
• Since most women artists don't make a living from their work and
there's no maternity leave or childcare in the art world, they rarely
choose both career and motherhood.
• The sexual imagery in most respected works of art is the expression
of wholesome heterosexual males.
• Unsullied by government interference, art is one of the last
unregulated markets. Why, there isn't even any self-regulation!
• The majority of exposed penises in major museums belong to the
Baby Jesus.
