ORIGO ART - MARILYN MINTER

ART EXHIBITION IN ORIGO LOUNGE
BY Marilyn Minter

Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, 1948.

Lives and works in New York, NY.

Marilyn Minter’s sensual paintings, photographs, and videos vividly explore and expose the complex and contradictory emotions around beauty and the feminine body in American culture. She trains a critical eye on the power of desire, questioning the fashion industry’s commercialization of sex and the body. Over her long career she has produced stunning and provoking photographs and videos. The most recent photographs, shown at Blique culminate in Minter’s ongoing investigation of how the beauty industry expertly creates and manipulates desire through images.

Minter has been included in more than 20 museum exhibitions including a number of retrospective exhibitions of which the latest and most significant one at Brooklyn Museum in 2018.
