The Anonymous Was A Woman Award is a grant program for women artists who are over 40 years of age, in part to counter sexism in the art world.[1] [2] It began in 1996 in direct response to the National Endowment for the Arts ' decision to stop funding individual artists.[2]
The award comes with a grant of $25,000 and is designed to enable exceptional woman artists to further develop their work. Awardees are chosen on the basis of their past accomplishments, their originality and artistic growth, and the quality of their work.[1] Since 1996, some 220 women have received the award and approximately 5.5 million USD has been awarded in total.[1] [3]
The award was founded by a New York artist who originally chose to remain anonymous.[2] She named the award in reference to a line from the Virginia Woolf book A Room of One's Own [1] and in recognition of all the women artists through the ages who have remained anonymous for various reasons.[2] Nominators, who include art writers, curators, art historians, and previous winners, are likewise unnamed.[1]
In July 2018, the artist Susan Unterberg was revealed as both the founder and funder of the award.[4] Before 2018, she had remained anonymous so that her artwork would be evaluated in its own context, without being influenced by her contributions.[3] [5] In an interview, she described her reasons for coming forward, stating『It’s a great time for women to speak up. I feel I can be a better advocate having my own voice,』and that she can now work openly to further the organization's cause and to encourage philanthropists and women artists.[3] On top of the awarded grants, Unterberg is considering other forms of programs, possibly seminars, to complement the grants.[5]
