<P> Dearest Art Collector (1986) Dearest Art Collector is a 560x430 mm screen - print on paper . This is one of thirty posters published in a portfolio entitled Guerrilla Girls Talk Back . This print is unusual in the portfolio in that it takes the form of an enlarged handwritten letter on baby pink paper . The extremely rounded cursive script crowned with a frowning flower exudes femininity, symbolizing the biting sarcasm for which the Guerrilla Girls were known for . The Guerrilla Girls sent this poster to well - known art collectors across the United States, pointing out how few works they owned by women artists . This send up of femininity is aimed at the expectation that, even when presenting a serious complaint, women should do so in a socially acceptable' nice' way . "We know that you feel terrible about this" appeals to the feelings of the recipient . This piece was a commentary on how hard it is for female artists, and what lengths they must go through in order to be recognized and taken seriously . Women are constantly expected to perform a certain way and this print is the embodiment of how tumultuous it is for women all around the world to be recognized in the eyes of men with power . The group later transcribed it into other languages and sent it to collectors outside the U.S. A practical joke with serious implications, this poster is now (somewhat ironically) a collector's item . </P> <P> The posters were rude; they named names and they printed statistics (and almost always cited the source of those statistics at the bottom, making them difficult to dismiss). They embarrassed people . In other words, they worked . </P> <P> The Guerrilla Girls' first color poster, which remains the group's most iconic image, is the 1989 Metropolitan Museum poster, which used data from the group's first "weenie count ." In response to the overwhelming amount of female nudes counted in the Modern Art sections, the poster asks, sarcastically, "Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?". Next to the text is an image of the Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres painting La Grande Odalisque, one of the most famous female nudes in Western art history, with a gorilla head placed over the original face . </P> <P> In 1990, the group designed a billboard featuring the Mona Lisa that was placed along the West Side Highway supported by the New York City public art fund . For one day, New York's MTA Bus Company also displayed bus advertisements with Met. Museum poster . Stickers also became popular calling cards representative of the group . </P>
