Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty

Visual artist Marilyn Minter has been a major creative voice since the 1970s. Despite her undeniable talent, her provocative style—often blurring the lines between pornographic and commercial—has kept her at arm’s length from the art world’s inner sanctum. Marilyn’s steadfast commitment to her own creative instincts has carried her through eras of success and rejection and into the present, where she has become known for capturing cultural icons like Lizzo, Jane Fonda, Pamela Anderson, Monica Lewinsky, and many others. As the public appetite catches up to Marilyn’s vision, will the establishment’s gatekeepers finally accept her?
