Claudia,

Unfortunately there would be no way to differentiate those artists from the Wikidata items that are currently missing the gender property. Plus that would only include modern artists, as everyone who appears in the external databases that were born before 1900 have already been assigned a gender whether it's one they would have accepted or not.
