BiographyMarilyn Minter is an American painter and photographer whose hyper-realistic, large-scale works explore beauty, glamour, and the body through lush, close-up imagery of glitter, lipstick, wet skin, and stilettos that simultaneously seduce and critique the beauty industry. She rose to renewed prominence in the 2000s after years working in commercial photography, and has become a prominent voice on reproductive rights and feminist politics. Her paintings are held in major museum collections worldwide, including MoMA and the Whitney.
