Amazons and Guerrilla Girls

Guerrilla Girls, Battle Of The Sexes, project for the New Yorker, 1996, 12 x 18 in. Pomona College Collection. Museum purchase with funds provided by the Estate of Walter and Elise Mosher.

I’m excited about visiting the new Guerilla Girls exhibition this weekend here in Madrid at the Matadero: Guerrilla Girls: 1985-2015. 

At the same time, at the Pomona College Museum of Art you can catch their exhibition Guerrilla Girls: Art in Action, which includes their brilliant remake of the Amazonomacy frieze from the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. 

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus: Amazonomachy – detail of Greek and Amazon from E. frieze (attributed to Skopas?) – ca. 355-330 B.C.
