Battle of the Sexes

Cat Woman

March 5, 2011 – May 22, 2011

Organized as a participatory experience by The Philadelphia Women’s Caucus for Art, Battle of the Sexes presents works by women artists, each of whom has invited a male artist to exhibit with her. Artists’ names did not appear on labels identifying the works during the voting period. Visitors received ballots and voted on whether each work was created by a female or male artist. Approximately half of the 4,627 votes cast correctly identified the gender of the artist. See the chart below for a complete overview of the voting results.
