This article looks at the reasons behind the gender inequality in the arts. Research has shown that art by women sells for far less than that by a man at auction (Vedantam, 2018). Steven Inskeep states that, “Women are paid less than men for the same work” (Inskeep, quoted in Vedantam, 2018). Vedantam debates whether there is an issue with the female artists or a bias with the buyers. There was an experiment involving computer generated art. As soon as an image was labelled with a female artists name, people valued it less than that of a mans. So going by this, it could be ingrained sexism coming to light.
