The source is Anna Chave. Can anyone confirm this?Wikip. also says "Morris' advertisement, however, generated little commentary, providing evidence for Benglis' view that male artists were encouraged to promote themselves, whereas women were chastised for doing so."Well, she's in the "canon" now for the ad and not her usual work (poured paint sculptures--I incorrectly called them paintings). I don't know what thay says about anything. According to Benglis’ Wikipedia entry
