Griselda Pollock is Professor emerita of Social and Critical Histories of Art at the University of Leeds. In 2020 she was awarded the Holberg Prize for her work as a feminist art historian and cultural theorist. She not only champions and writes extensively on many artist-women, historical and contemporary, but she developed a feminist, postcolonial queer and international critique of Art History as a white, Euro-centered and gender exclusive masculinist discourse. In 1981, with Rozsika Parker she published Old Mistresses; Women, Art & Ideology; (new edition Bloomsbury, 2020) and continued her critique with Vision and Difference (1988), Avant-Garde Gambits: Gender and the Colour of Art History (1993), Generations and Geographies in the Visual Arts (1995), Mary Cassatt: Painter of Modern Women (1995/2022), Differencing the Canon (1999), Encounters in the Virtual Feminist Museum (2007), and After-Image/After-Affect: Trauma and Aesthetic Transformation in the Virtual Feminist Museum (2013). In 2018 she published the first major art historical monograph on the German-Jewish artist Charlotte Salomon, Charlotte Salomon in the Theatre of Memory (Yale University Press). In 2022, she published Killing Men & Dying Women: Imagining Difference in 1950s New York Painting (Manchester University Press), triangulating abstract painters Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock with actor Marilyn Monroe.
