With humor, irony, and the power of anonymity, the ape-masked Guerrilla Girls and their posters have spoken out against sexism and racism in the New York art world since the mid-1980s. One of their tactics, which has been successful in the sense that it has caused real change, has been to publicize the names of fine art galleries and museums that do not, or do not frequently, exhibit works by women or
people of color. Similar activist groups have been formed in San Francisco (Guerrilla Girls West), Austin, Boston, Chicago, Louisville, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.
