The Art Newspaper: Artists take to Instagram to criticise Gilbert & George’s claims that museums are now ‘woke’ and only focus on Black and women artists
Last year, they told the Financial Times that "all the museums now are woke" and that museums now favour "all black art, all women art, all this art and that art," resulting in their work being sidelined. They point to the fact that Tate holds 23 of their works in its collection, which are "never shown". During the interview, George Passmore reportedly compared the situation to apartheid in South Africa.
