摘要:
As a microcosm, the art museum is a means of expressing and reflecting greater social conditions. Art is an essential element in the social thread of humanity, it provides the vocabulary for a social construction of culture, and thus should also reflect the unique lenses of women artists. Unfortunately, the percentage of women artists, and their artworks, represented in art museums are insufficient. In this case study of Omaha, Nebraska's Joslyn Art Museum the quantitative statistical evidence supported the general conclusion of non-inclusivity, however, the qualitative interview data provided a narrative while also expanding on increasing optimism for future progress. An inventory of the Joslyn's permanent collection currently on display found that artworks by women are not equally representative as those by male artists, but that the examples the Joslyn has are mostly modern and contemporary, which reflects the social development and progress of women as artists overall. The case study of the Joslyn shows both that art museums are moving in the direction of inclusivity in terms of artists and museum staff, and that the study of a smaller art museum is beneficial to the conversation of the larger art world and society which it both mimics and reflects.
