Is the art world really becoming more female-friendly?
Female artists have long been underrepresented at institutions, galleries, and history books. Tanya König visited Art Basel 2019 and spoke to dealers such as Liz Mulholland, partner at Andrew Kreps Gallery, David Leiber, partner at David Zwirner, Neil Wenman, senior director at Hauser & Wirth, Karolina Dankow, co-founder of Karma International, Andrew Fabricant, COO at Gagosian, Shireen Gandhy, director at Chemould Prescott Road Mumbai, René Maile, co-director at Galerie Urs Meile, Eva Presenhuber collectors such as Monique Burger and Erling Kagge, artists Andrea Bowers and Rebekka Steiger, art business reporter Tim Schneider of artnet, and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist to find out whether the focus is shifting when it comes to female representation.
