Abstract
Despite being largely excluded from the mainstream narrative, women have played a vital role in
the art world, the contributions of female artists, collectors, and patrons have been frequently
overlooked or diminished, and the art world has been dominated by male artists and collectors.
In ancient times, women were involved in creating art in many cultures. However, their works
were often unattributed or forgotten. In the Renaissance, women were allowed to participate in
the arts but were often relegated to less prestigious mediums such as embroidery or miniature
painting. It was not until the 19th century that women began to gain more recognition for their
artistic achievements. Despite these achievements, today, women are still underrepresented in
many areas of the art world. Women artists are still paid less than their male counterparts and
less likely to be represented in major museums and galleries. The study adopted a qualitative
research method using literature review as the major source of data collection. Data were sourced
from books, journal articles, as well as online sources. Data were qualitatively analyzed using the
art historian method to present the data descriptively. The study revealed that there has been a
growing awareness of the need for gender equality in the art world, and many organizations are
working to promote the work of female artists and to provide opportunities for women to succeed
in the field. This is important to create a more equitable and just art world for all.

Abstract
Ana akım anlatıdan büyük ölçüde dışlanmış olmalarına rağmen kadınlar sanat dünyasında hayati
bir rol oynamış; kadın sanatçıların, koleksiyoncuların ve patronların katkıları sıklıkla göz ardı edilmiş
veya azaltılmış ve sanat dünyası erkek sanatçıların ve koleksiyonerlerin hakimiyetinde kalmıştır.
Antik çağda kadınlar birçok kültürde sanatın yaratılmasında yer almışlardır. Ancak eserleri
çoğu zaman atfedilmedi veya unutuldu. Rönesans'ta kadınların sanata katılmasına izin veriliyordu;
ancak genellikle nakış veya minyatür resim gibi daha az prestijli ortamlara yönlendirildiler.
Kadınların sanatsal başarıları 19. yüzyıla kadar daha fazla tanınmaya başlandı. Bu başarılara rağmen
günümüzde kadınlar sanat dünyasının birçok alanında hâlâ yeterince temsil edilmiyor. Kadın
sanatçılar hâlâ erkek meslektaşlarından daha az maaş alıyor ve büyük müze ve galerilerde temsil
edilme olasılıkları da daha düşük. Araştırma, temel veri toplama kaynağı olarak literatür taramasını
kullanan nitel bir araştırma yöntemini benimsemiştir. Veriler kitaplardan, dergi makalelerinden
ve çevrimiçi kaynaklardan elde edildi. Verilerin tanımlayıcı bir şekilde sunulması için veriler sanat
tarihçisi yöntemi kullanılarak niteliksel olarak analiz edildi. Araştırma, sanat dünyasında toplumsal
cinsiyet eşitliği ihtiyacı konusunda artan bir farkındalığın olduğunu ve birçok kuruluşun kadın
sanatçıların çalışmalarını teşvik etmek ve kadınlara bu alanda başarılı olmaları için fırsatlar sağlamak
için çalıştığını ortaya çıkardı. Herkes için daha eşitlikçi ve adil bir sanat dünyası yaratmak
adına bu önemli.
