“Minter hones in (literally and figuratively) on the imperfect trappings of high couture in large-scale color photographs and paintings that at once magnify, fetishize, and abject their subjects. The wearer of studded Christian Dior pumps has apparently been doused in mud, and dirt infiltrates every crease of her perfectly manicured feet. The ambivalence in Minter’s works does not leave us any less seduced by them: we simply have a harder time cleaning up and simplifying the true nature of our much more complicated desires.”
-2006 Whitney Biennial Catalogue
Marilyn Minter (b. 1948) renders beauty grotesque and gore beautiful with photographs and photo-realistic paintings. The phrase "dirty realism", popularized by a 1983 issue of the magazine Granta, comes to mind when looking at Minter’s work. Not since the Baroque when Caravaggio painted his models with mud and grime on their feet and dirt under their finger nails has filth been so evocative. Four hundred years later, Minter has done the same with her dazzling photographs. Minter has had solo exhibitions at Salon 94 (2006 & 2009) and the San Francesco MoMA (2005). In 2006, she was featured in the Whitney Biennial. In 2007, she envisioned a centerfold for collaboration with Parkett magazine. Upcoming projects include: a solo exhibition at Regen Projects in fall 2009. In September, both the Zaha Hadid designed Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati and the newly opened contemporary art space ‘La Conservera’ in Murcia, Spain will present installations of Minter's work.
