All I have visibility into is the public galleries, where the grants and the curators are picking women, and the artist run centres, and the local art school, both of which are female and/or indigenous and/or queer first in the past decade.
You're right that things are different at private galleries. The majority of art in galleries representing artists decades into their career is not going to be by women. And the owners are going to have their say/taste, as are their clientele.
But, will that still be true in the coming decades? There is a pipeline to becoming an established artist, and what is the input to that, if not the art schools, collectives, and artist run centres? (I am not asking that rhetorically, I am genuinely curious)
