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.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
