Charlotte Burns and Julia Halperin on Their Latest Burns Halperin Report

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, we're joined by
Charlotte Burns and Julia Halperin, co-creators of The Burns
Halperin Report, which explores representation in U.S. museums and
the international art market. First, Charlotte and Julia share some
of the major takeaways from their report, in particular the lack of
progress regarding museum acquisitions for female and minority
artists. Then, they reveal if their findings, which conflict with
recent narratives in the art media, were surprising to them. Also,
Charlotte and Julia explain how social movements, such as Black
Lives Matter and Me Too, have influenced museums' activities.
After, they clarify if there are any positive findings in their
report or if it is entirely pessimistic. Lastly, Charlotte and
Julia identify certain museums who are indeed doing a relatively
good job which acquiring artworks by female and minority artists.
