Summary

This screen printed magazine cover is a part of the fictional publication series FEMMO created by Virginia Fraser in collaboration with Elvis Richardson between 2014-2017. Using portraits of contemporary female artists of diverse backgrounds against bold and whitty headlines, FEMMO imagines a world in which feminism is central to, and informs, every topic. Specifically, FEMMO takes aim at the art world's gender biased status quo. This particular issue of FEMMO features Virginia Fraser (1947-2021) on the cover. Virginia was a long-time member of the Acquisition Panel and played a pivotal role in expanding the Art and Heritage Collection well beyond its colonial foundations.
