巴爾的摩藝術博物館明年將只購買女性作品

走進美國最頂級的藝術博物館之一，你會看到大多數的作品都是由男性創(chuàng)作的。

The Baltimore Museum of Art has decided to make a bold step to correct that imbalance: next year, the museum will only purchase works made by female-identifying artists.

巴爾的摩藝術博物館決定邁出大膽的一步，以糾正這種不平衡:明年，博物館將只購買女性藝術家的作品。

"This how you raise awareness and shift the identity of an institution," museum director Christopher Bedford told The Baltimore Sun. "

博物館館長克里斯托弗·貝德福德在接受《巴爾的摩太陽報》采訪時表示:“這是提高知名度和改變機構身份的方式。”

You don't just purchase one painting by a female artist of color and hang it on the wall next to a painting by Mark Rothko. To rectify centuries of imbalance, you have to do something radical."

你不能只買一幅女彩繪藝術家的畫，然后掛在馬克·羅斯科的畫旁邊的墻上。要糾正幾個世紀以來的不平衡，你必須做一些徹底的事情。“

The move is part of a larger initiative launched in October called 2020 Vision, a series of 22 exhibits at the museum celebrating female-identifying artists.
