ON VIEW in the William D. Ginn Gallery

Organized by MOCA Cleveland

Curated by Margo A. Crutchfield, Senior Curator

Based in New York, Marilyn Minter examines the relationships between the body, photography, and painting in works that tap into cultural anxieties about sexuality and desire.  Using luscious colors, glossy surfaces and hyper-realistic close-ups, her work is both seductive and disturbing. Makeup-laden lips, eyes, mouths, necks, and feet are portrayed with an enticing but alarming veracity that examines beauty and decadence while exposing the pleasures and dangers of glamour.

The exhibition focuses on a selection of recent work featuring two of the artist's large-scale enamel on aluminum paintings.
