Women on Top

I've been going through gallery lists and I'm shocked how few women artists there are represented. As a writer i'm always struggling to find ones to cover. I'm no better - my favourite artists they're all bloody blokes. So to refocus here is a list of my current top ten female artists (even though I know that putting this as a female only list just reinforces their marginality but you get the intention.)

Amie Dicke


Sophie Calle


Marnie Weber


Aleksandra Domanovic


Marlene Dumas


Eva Rothschild


Eli Cortinas


Annette Messager


Sarah Lucas (esp past couple of years)
