Description
This dataset builds on an existing dataset which captures artists’ demographics who are represented by top tier galleries in the 2016–2017 New York art season (Case-Leal, 2017, https://web.archive.org/web/20170617002654/http://www.havenforthedispossessed.org/) with a census of reviews and catalogs about those exhibitions to assess proportionality of media coverage across race and gender. The readme file explains variables, collection, relationship between the datasets, and an example of how the Case-Leal dataset was transformed. The ArticleDataset.csv provides all articles with citation information as well as artist, artistic identity characteristic, and gallery. The ExhibitionCatalog.csv provides exhibition catalog citation information for each identified artist.
New in this V2:
- In V1, ArticleDataset.csv had both data on the articles published and all of the exhibitions, which was misleading. In V2 I separated out so that ArticleDataset only has articles, and AllSoloShows has all shows, including those that had no articles written about them in the publications reviewed.
- Upon closer review I noticed approximately 10 out of the 133 articles had incorrect information in variable "Publication content type: art or general" and/or "Publication Carrier type: web or library?" so I updated V2.
- Upon closer review I noticed there was 3 instances of artists who had two solo shows apiece: in addition to Meleko Mokgosi and Carrie Mae Weems which I had already noted in V1, there was also Roxy Paine. I had not noticed this because only one of two of Paine's shows had been written about. This brings the total number of shows to 117 (which was 116 in V1).
-Upon closer review I removed one row from ExhibitionCatalogs.csv, as the item i had listed did not meet the parameters.
