Artist Marilyn Minter on Depicting Female Sexuality (1x8)

Air date: Sep 30, 2015

Marilyn Minter is no minimalist. In the years since, she's moved from that controversy into both pop culture and art-world successes that include a shows at the Venice Biennale and works hanging on Jay Z and Beyonce's walls. Although her beautiful images—of lipsticked mouths sucking on jewels and pearls, of silver high heels kick through dirty water, or of purposefully grown-out pubic hair—may at times seem superficial, Minter is nevertheless constantly considering themes like imperfections, female sexuality, and the subversion of female representation in fashion. A retrospective of her work, Pretty/Dirty, is currently traveling the country and will reach the Brooklyn Museum in 2016.
