This painting depicts artist Wangechi Mutu, a friend of Marilyn Minter’s (and the subject of a 2013–14 survey here @brooklynmuseum). Minter typically employs models in her shoots, and Mutu was likewise provided with expert makeup, designer clothes, high heels, and fake nails. The dripping gold liquid pooling from Mutu’s mouth is a combination of vodka and metallic food coloring, a material trick that Minter employs to slimy, opulent effect. This collaboration resulted in works by both artists, with Minter creating a series of photographs and paintings and Mutu transforming the images through collage.Marilyn Minter (American, born 1948).
