Description

Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly is the first book to catalog the entire career of the Guerrilla Girls from 1985 to present.

The Guerrilla girls are a collective of political feminist artists who expose discrimination and corruption in art, film, politics, and pop culture all around the world.

This book explores all their provocative
street campaigns, unforgettable media appearances, and large-scale exhibitions.
  • Each copy comes with a punch-out gorilla mask that invites readers to step up and join the movement themselves.
  • Captions by the Guerrilla Girls themselves contextualize the visuals.
  • Explores their well-researched, intersectional takedown of the patriarchy
In 1985, a group of masked feminist avengers—known as the Guerrilla Girls—papered downtown Manhattan with posters calling out the Museum of Modern Art for its lack of representation of female artists.

They quickly became a global phenomenon, and the fearless activists have produced hundreds of posters, stickers, and billboards ever since.
  • More than a monograph, this book is a call to arms.
  • This career-spanning volume is published to coincide with their 35th anniversary.
  • Perfect for artists, art lovers, feminists, fans of the Guerrilla Girls, students, and activists
  • Add it to the shelf with books like Wall and Piece by Banksy, Why We March: Signs of Protest and Hope by Artisan, and Graffiti Women: Street Art from Five Continents by Nicholas Ganz

A very good book with great pictures about an important subject of female equality. Easily written and explained with lots of pictures. We need more of this in life!

The Guerrilla Girls have been around what seems like forever, yet their message is still relevant and current. How disheartening. "Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly" is a great visual book follows the Guerrilla Girls throughout time and around the world and drive the point across.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book entirely in one sitting, it was unputdownable. As an art teacher (K-5) and a former BA student in Drawing and Painting, the Guerrilla Girls movement means so much to me. The movement is one of my favorites in art history and contemporary art. This comprehensive book about the history of the movement, paired with gorgeous photographs of the work of the Guerrilla Girls will be a huge educational aid for me as a teacher. Once this book comes out, I will need tog et a copy to keep in my classroom library for when I teach my students about equality in art.
