Eric Firestone Gallery's 'Erotic City' is an exhibition featuring over forty artists, curated by 93-year-old Martha Edelheit, a vital voice in feminist art. Her work challenges traditional art norms, emphasizing female desire and the evolving nature of erotic expression. Edelheit reflects on her lengthy career, questioning societal perceptions of eroticism and its intersection with age. The exhibition not only showcases various interpretations of erotic art but also encourages dialogue about the cultural shifts in attitudes toward sexuality, particularly within the context of art history and personal experience.
What is the difference between pornography and erotic art? I'm 93 years old. In our culture it wouldn't be unusual to ask what someone my age is doing curating an erotic exhibition.
Since the 1960s I've been doing work that has been called erotic. I never set out to do erotic drawings. I never thought of my work as erotic.
