Week 4 Featured Artist: Marilyn Minter


Marilyn Minter is a painter/ photographer living in New York City. Her art work deals with high fashion which she claims she knows nothing about. It's almost seems to me that she is portraying the shallowness and the danger of fashion. Some entitle her work as "Damaged Glamour". Recently she made a video called Green Pink Caviar where the model licked bakery products on a glass panel which I think is a bit icky. Then I read her comment about the video. She said the video is to illustrate hunger and insatiability of human nature. After hearing that  the video made more sense to me. Madonna used this video during her song Candy Shop in her Sweet and Sticky tour.
