This image is a poster created by the Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous group of feminist, female artists devoted to fighting sexism and racism within the art world. The top part of the poster contains a bold headline in large, black capital letters: "JOHN RUSSELL THINKS THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER FOR WOMEN ARTISTS." Beneath this, in smaller text, there is a quote from John Russell, which reads: "It is a matter of fact, and not of opinion, that in NY in the Eighties shows by women artists have been just as rewarding and just as widely remarked as shows by men artists." This quote is cited as being from John Russell in the NY Times on August 24, 1983. Below this quote, another bold headline in capital letters counters the previous statement: "GUERRILLA GIRLS THINKS HE SHOULD READ HIS OWN PAPER." This is followed by a graph that visually represents data from 1981 to 1984. The graph shows the percentage of one-person show reviews about women artists in the New York Times. It indicates different levels of representation underlined by several critics: Grace Glueck, Michael Brenson, John Russell, Vivien Raynor, and Hilton Kramer, using lines with different patterns. The overall trend illustrated suggests a decline or minimal representation of women artists in show reviews. At the bottom right, it states in smaller text: "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS" with the tagline "CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD" in capital letters.

The image is a black and white poster with a mixture of text and graphical elements. The top of the poster features a statement in large, bold text that reads: "JOHN RUSSELL THINKS THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER FOR WOMEN ARTISTS:" Below that statement, in smaller print, is a quote attributed to John Russell from the New York Times dated 8/24/83 which reads: "It is a matter of fact, and not of opinion, that in NY in the Eighties shows by women artists have been just as rewarding and just as widely remarked as shows by men artists." Below this text block is another bold statement that reads: "GUERRILLA GIRLS THINKS HE SHOULD READ HIS OWN PAPER:" indicating a differing opinion held by the Guerrilla Girls. This is followed by a line chart depicting the percentage of New York Times one-person show reviews about women artists from 1981 to 1984. The percentages appear to be about 10%, 15%, less than 5%, and around 20% respectively for the years listed. Below the chart, there are names corresponding to the data points on the graph: Grace Glueck, Michael Brenson, John Russell, Vivien Raynor, and Hilton Kramer. At the bottom of the poster, text reads: "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD." The poster is designed to critique and bring attention to the representation and recognition of women artists in the art world, particularly in the context of newspaper reviews, illustrating the Guerrilla Girls’ view that women artists were significantly underrepresented in the New York Times reviews during the early 1980s, contrary to John Russell's stated opinion.

This is a provocative artwork by the Guerrilla Girls, an activist art group, from the 1980s. It presents a criticism of art criticism itself, specifically targeting a statement made by art critic John Russell in the New York Times. The piece is designed as a response to Russell's claim that things were improving for women artists in New York in the 1980s. The artwork is structured in two parts: 1. At the top, it quotes Russell's statement from the NY Times (dated 8/24/83) 2. Below, it presents a graph showing the percentage of New York Times one-person show reviews about women artists from 1981-84, tracked across different art critics. The graph shows a general declining trend in coverage of women artists, directly contradicting Russell's optimistic statement. The lines on the graph track several critics' coverage, including Grace Glueck, Michael Brenson, John Russell, Vivien Raynor, and Hilton Kramer. The title "GUERRILLA GIRLS THINKS HE SHOULD READ HIS OWN PAPER:" serves as a sardonic commentary on the disconnect between Russell's statement and the statistical reality shown in the paper he wrote for. This piece exemplifies the Guerrilla Girls' signature style of using data and direct confrontation to expose gender bias in the art world.
