THE PINK BEDROOM, PORTIA MUNSON, THE MUSEUM OF SEX, NEW YORK CITY, USA
Portia Munson rose from an early 90s New York art set with her almost obsessive penchant for collecting (and arranging) pink objects. She featured alongside The Guerilla Girls, Laura Aguilar, and Carrie Mae Weems in the Bad Girls show, curated by Marcia Tucker. Her work stood out for its bold embrace of kitsch and criticism of the commodification of women’s sexuality and the infantilisation of our bodies – powerful work which still endures today, and takes on new life in the walls of the Museum of Sex.
