Marilyn Minter — Hands Dumping; Hands Washing; and Hands Folding
Marilyn Minter

Hands Dumping; Hands Washing; and Hands Folding

Marilyn Minter's triptych of screenprints captures the intimate, hyper-realistic details of hands engaged in everyday gestures — dumping, washing, and folding — rendered with her signature lustrous, almost photographic intensity. Printed in rich colors on aluminum panels, the works elevate the mundane and domestic into something sensuous and visually arresting. The reflective metallic surface enhances the tactile quality of the imagery, blurring the boundary between the depicted and the real.

Medium
Three screenprints in colors, on aluminum panel mounted to metal strainer (as issued), the full sheets.
