Current Status
Through their history the Guerrilla Girls have seen art and the world surrounding it evolve into a different place with issues changing since 1985. Tokenism is just one of the concerns challenged by the group today. Economic discrimination in art sales and the auction market is another. Women and artists of color earn about 10-20% of what white men do for comparable artwork.
In 2001 the group split into three separate and independent organizations: Guerrilla Girls, Inc., Guerrilla Girls BroadBand, Inc., and Guerrilla Girls On Tour! Inc. The original unincorporated association, Guerrilla Girls, no longer exists.

“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
