The article discusses the 'Erotic City' exhibition at Eric Firestone Gallery, showcasing works from over 40 artists exploring themes of pleasure and humor. Curated by 93-year-old artist Martha Edelheit, the exhibition features playful and explicit artworks, including Helen Beard's The principle of pleasure (2020) and historical pieces like Jane Kogan's 1978 painting of a gender-bending mermaid. The exhibition aims to uplift spirits against a backdrop of National discontent and winter malaise, celebrating both physical and aesthetic delight within the contemporary art scene.
Helen Beard's The principle of pleasure (2020) features blocky shapes of color: a red hand touching a blue and green slit, with an oblong green cucumber, making it a slyly explicit work.
