Marilyn Minter — Spyder
Marilyn Minter

Spyder

Marilyn Minter's *Spyder* is a chromogenic print, flush-mounted, that exemplifies her signature hyper-realistic and sensuously charged aesthetic. The work likely depicts a close-up, highly magnified view of flesh, glitter, or adornment, blurring the line between desire and disgust with its slick, glossy surface. Flush-mounted to emphasize its photographic sheen, the piece implicates the viewer in a visceral confrontation with beauty culture and the consuming gaze.
