About the Item

Marilyn Minter Donald J. Trump (Silver), 2018 Mixed media, hydrocal with silver paint Hand signed, titled, dated and numbered 10/100 by Marilyn Minter on the back 14 × 11 × 3/4 inches Unframed - ready to hang This mixed media 3-D Presidential plaque is painted with silver and ready to hang! It is hand signed and numbered 10/100 in market on the back. The text reads: "I DID TRY AND FUCK HER. SHE WAS MARRIED, I MOVED ON HER LIKE A BITCH, BUT I COULDN'T GET THERE AND SHE WAS MARRIED. YOU KNOW I'M AUTOMATICALLY ATTRACTED TO BEAUTIFUL, I JUST START KISSING THEM. IT'S LIKE A MAGNET, JUST KISS, I DON'T EVEN WAIT. AND WHEN YOU'RE A STAR THEY LET YOU DO IT, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING... GRAB THEM BY THE PUSSY. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING." THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Profile of Marilyn Minter: "Artist Marilyn Minter: Donald Trump is a Monster", from the Hong Kong Tatler, courtesy of Lehmann Maupin: "When I call Marilyn Minter in her New York studio, she is not painting, taking photos or doing any of the things you might expect of an artist preparing for their first solo show in Asia. Instead, she is planning a protest. “Donald Trump is a monster, he’s my worst nightmare,” Minter exclaims. “We’re fighting fascism now in the United States. I’ve never seen democracy so fragile—and I’m old. I saw Nixon, I saw the Aids crisis, I saw Reagan, and this is the worst it’s ever been. I’ve always been an activist, it’s just that nobody knew my name.” That’s changed. Minter, who turned 70 this year, is one of the most famous feminist artists in the US—and the world—and one of the few who is both taken seriously by critics and loved by the public. The work of the self-confessed “radical bad girl” is collected by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Beyoncé; she has given academic lectures at UCLA and hosted panel discussions with Madonna. This success is hard-won. In the early days of her career, when the young artist was scraping a living in New York in the 1970s and ’80s, she was slated for her glossy paintings incorporating imagery from fashion advertising and pornography. “I’m drawn to things that people find contemptible or shallow,” Minter explains. “Pornography is one of the giant engines of our culture—there’d be no internet without pornography. And the fashion industry and glamour is another giant engine of our culture. It’s a billion-dollar industry.” Aside from the criticism that Minter’s subject matter wasn’t serious enough to warrant a place in art history, misogyny often underlay the vicious dismissal of her work. “Fashion gives women a lot of pleasure,” Minter says. “I think women should have the agency to make imagery for their own pleasure and their own amusement. I think it’s time for women to have agency instead of constantly being the object. It’s a real taboo for women to own sexual power and it’s amazing to me that more artists aren’t examining this.” For her exhibition at Lehmann Maupin in Hong Kong, Minter is turning the tables on something that has inspired artists from Paul Cézanne to Edgar Degas to Paul Gauguin: the image of a female bather. “The bather is a trope of art history and I thought it would be a fresh vision to have a 21st-century bather,” Minter says. Unlike the vulnerable young women that appear in historical portrayals of the bather (most of which are painted by men), Minter’s photo-realistic paintings feature confident women standing behind steamed-up shower doors, sometimes writing explicit messages in the condensation. The works are undeniably sexual—featuring dewy beads of condensation dripping off glistening, plumped-up lips—but these women are not objectified; they’re in control. Just as Minter has seen the reception of her feminist art change from openly hostile to laudatory, she has seen enormous shifts in society at large. “When I was growing up, it was very rare to have doctors or lawyers that were women. There were no CEOs of any corporation that were women,” she says. “Women were teachers, they were nurses, librarians. I never had a woman teacher in art school. I was the only girl in the entire grad school of painters—it was 17 guys and me. The women’s movement, feminism, I think is the biggest change I’ve seen in my lifetime.” Yet there is still work to be done—especially now that Trump is president. Minter has been a vocal and seemingly tireless opponent of Trump since before he was elected. On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, she co-hosted a panel discussion with Madonna at the Brooklyn Museum during which Minter urged the audience to “fight back. Don’t accept anything he does.” The next day, she was one of hundreds of thousands of people who descended on Washington DC for the Women’s March. Since then, she’s made anti-Trump posters that are available to download for free online and organised a pop-up store that raised funds for Planned Parenthood and other charities, among many other protests. Like many leading artists, Minter has had personal encounters with the Trump family because Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, are avid collectors of contemporary art. “Their art advisor brought them to my studio a long time ago—2011 or maybe 2012,” Minter recalls. “She was very nice and he was very full of himself. They don’t collect my art—he hated my work. He was very dismissive. I could tell he wasn’t even slightly interested. At that point in time they weren’t political animals. I was just really polite. I’m a radical bad girl but I’m very polite because I’m from the Deep South, so I was inoculated with politeness at birth.” Minter is now an avid participant in the anti-Trump “Dear Ivanka” campaign, for which celebrities who are followed by Ivanka on Instagram post personal messages to the president’s daughter urging her to act against her father’s most harmful policies. On the day of our interview, Minter posted another “Dear Ivanka” message on her account because—for the third time—Ivanka had begun following her on Instagram. “Can you believe that idiot followed me again?” Minter asks with a cackle. Soon after Minter’s latest message was published, Ivanka once again unfollowed her. The Trumps clearly infuriate Minter, but she never loses her temper or sinks into despair when talking about them. In fact, for all her anger and sadness that Trump is in office, Minter seems surprisingly positive about the future. “Millennials make me hopeful,” she says. “They are the most justice-minded of any generation. I mean, look at the kids who survived the Parkland shooting. They’re amazing. My generation has to age out—we’re not going to change the baby boomers’ minds. Trump is the last gasp of a dying patriarchy.” About Marilyn Minter: Marilyn Minter (born 1948) is an American artist currently living and working in New York City. Minter's work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and has been included in group exhibitions in museums all over the world. In 2006, Marilyn Minter was included in the Whitney Biennial, and installed several billboards in Chelsea, New York City in collaboration with Creative Time. Her video Green Pink Caviar was exhibited in the lobby of the MoMA from 2010-2011. It was also shown on digital billboards on Sunset Boulevard in L.A. and on the Creative Time MTV billboard in Times Square, New York. In 2013, Minter was featured in “Riotous Baroque,” an exhibition that originated at the Kunsthaus Zürich and traveled to the Guggenheim Bilbao. In 2015, Minter’s retrospective Pretty/Dirty opened at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, TX. Pretty/Dirty traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, the Orange Country Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum in November 2016. Minter is represented by Salon 94, New York, Regen Projects, Los Angeles and Baldwin Gallery, Aspen.

Hand signed letter of advice ("one either jumps into the water or doesn't")
By Jasper Johns
Located in New York, NY
Jasper Johns Letter ("one either jumps into the water or doesn't"), 1996 Hand signed letter framed on top of a Time Magazine cover depicting a work by the artist Hand signed by Jasper Johns underneath a typewritten letter by his secretary (JJ/st) Frame Included This listing consists of a typewritten letter, hand signed by Jasper Johns in response to one sent by the present addressee. While we do not see the fan's letter that prompted this response from Johns, it's not too difficult to guess, as Jasper Johns replies, stating, in part, "I wish I felt I could advise you but I can't. One either jumps in the water or doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any in-between." No truer words could have been spoken regarding the artist's life. Underneath this letter, is a vintage Time Magazine cover, presumably from the same year, depicting a Jasper Johns Flag...

Never Trump
By Laura Benjamin
Located in New York, NY
Original. Part of Candy Wrapper Collage series in Pop Art style. Natural wood frame. Homage to Trump. About the Artist: Benjamin received her Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the American University in Washington D.C. and her Master’s Degree in Art Education from New York University. In addition she received an Associate’s Degree in Textile Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology and studied at The Art Student’s League, The Parson’s School of Design and The New School. Benjamin taught art for 34 years. While on sabbatical from teaching she studied textile design. For the next 15 years she continued to teach, as well as freelance as a textile designer in both home furnishings and the apparel markets. In the mid 90’s her focus turned towards computer graphics, and as an art educator, she incorporated this into her curriculum. She was awarded for a “successful practice in crossing the digital divide through art and technology” by the United States Department of Education. Her early works were oils and acrylics. During the late 60’s her interest was in pure abstraction. Pop Art and the human figure began to interest her in the early 70’s. Gradually, Benjamin was drawn to experimenting with mixed media. In the 80’s there was the influence of a career in textile design that moved her towards a more decorative style. In the 90’s, she became involved in the teaching of computer graphics. This was to have a profound influence in aiding and developing a more recent “POP” style. She began to incorporate into her paintings, torn pieces of digital printouts of her subjects. “The part of me that is the “digital artist” became very inspired by the use of the computer as a tool with which I could manipulate my subject and its color energy. The “fine artist” in me was then able to incorporate these concepts into a new image on my canvas. Having always had an interest in mixed media, my current work is now a combination of both POP and Collage. Since 2008 I have been creating a body of work dubbed “Candy Wrapper Collage”. A juried show’s theme, “gluttony”, challenged me to ultimately explore my POP figures through a new medium….candy wrappers! Razor blades are my new paintbrushes and candy wrappers are my new paints. Utilizing torn, cut and expired candy wrappers and their packaging, I render my subjects in diverse and colorful forms. I create representational images of celebrities and pop-culture objects...
