Marilyn Minter- “Stepping Up” Enamel on metal, 96 x 60 in.
Marilyn Minter (Born: 1948 in Shreveport, Louisiana but raised in Florida. Currently lives and works in New York).
Minter helds a master of fine art degree from Syracuse University. She now teaches in fine art at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
While she was student, Marilyn Minter created a series of photographic studies with her drug -addicted mother among the objects. Later she started to incorporate the sexuality from the Pop-derived pictures, and imagery from the porn industry. Her works often include sexuality, erotic imagery, and a touch of “urban glam”. Minter uses the good old darkroom in the process, and is not a fan of digital manipulation.
Marlin Minter is one of the greatest and most important living temporary artist, and is widely known among collectors and institutions.

Accessable Art 
i want to know how much is the paint of the shoes and the one of the eye
I can look into it for you.
Stepping up is shown again in Season 5, Episode 4, about 9 minutes in. An avid fan of both Gossip Girl and Marilyn Minter, I’m surprised it took me this long to spot her work.
sweet, Minter is awesome. Well, its a descret way to show art don’t you agree? Yours sincerely Johan
Does anyone know where I can find som emore info about the painting in the background labeled: “In the background: Ryan McGinley, season 2, ep. 11.”?
Best regards,

The picture of the three faces in Lily’s apartment shown behind Eric (2 pictures above- episode18, season 4) and also in the episode where Rufus try’s to propose to Lily and has all of her favorite things (season 2, episode 23, I think). Who is the artist and where can I possibly find a print? I’m sure the original is far too expensive for me. Thank you for your time.
not shure, will try to check out;)
