Refuse to be the Muse
NEW WOR K BY OUR BEST-SELLING WOMEN ARTISTS 2019 Special Edition
Artist Vicky Barranguet
At Saatchi Art, 54% of our top-selling artists are women
Artist Ele Pack
That’s a number we’re especially proud of when you consider that women constitute only 30% of artists represented in brick-and-mortar galleries in the U.S.
Artist Paola Bazz
As the world’s leading online art gallery, we empower women artists and provide them with an equal platform to share their impressive work with a global audience. From Titian’s Venus to Picasso’s nudes, women have more often been the subject of artworks than had their own works displayed in museums and galleries. Despite gaining greater exposure in recent years, women artists continue to struggle for equal representation in the traditional art system. Female artists far outnumber men in art schools, but constitute only 30% of artists on display in museums and galleries. And full-time women artists make an average of 81 cents for every dollar made by their male counterparts. At Saatchi Art, we’re uniquely positioned to help make change happen. That’s why we’re celebrating our best-selling female artists, who refuse to be the muse and instead are creating some of the most vibrant and compelling art today. We hope you enjoy discovering these rising talents, hand-selected by our chief curator Rebecca Wilson.
