2020
This master thesis analyses the representation of female artists in Czech art museums over the
years 2009-2018. The thesis aims to fill the lack of similar academic research and tries to
provide a complex overview of the current situation for female artists in the Czech Republic
as well as come up with suggestions on improving the situation. It focuses on purchased
female art and female exhibitions of 16 public art museums. The analysed data set consists of
information on nearly 500 female artists and 300 female exhibitions. The method used for
analysing the data was correlation, linear regression and calculation of percentage. The
research found out that from the total purchased acquisitions, only 17% were by female
artists, but the overall trend is positive and is growing. From the total amount of short-term
exhibitions, only 11% were dedicated to female artists and that 62% of the graduates of art
schools in the Czech Republic are women.
