The thrill of a photo-realist painter is if you get really close to the painting, it looks just like a photograph. Whereas in my case, if you get close to my paintings, they totally fall apart - so I'm about as far from a photo-realist as it gets. Marilyn Minter caseclosefall share on social
People of my generation are used to collecting the heroic boys. And they're used to paying a lot of money for heroic boys. I don't make a third of what a guy would make. Marilyn Minter boycollectgeneration Change image and share on social
When Photoshop came around, I thought I'd died and went to heaven. When I hear artists say, 'Oh, the good old days' or 'I'm old school,' I just want to puke. There's no tool I won't use. Marilyn Minter artistdaydie Change image and share on social
I don't follow anybody. I just flip through whatever Instagram sends me. I like to keep my algorithm pure, so I only ever like pictures of art. It's a rabbit hole for me because I'm a total voyeur. Marilyn Minter algorithmartflip Change image and share on social

The fashion world tells me how much they love my work, but they don't hire me very often. Tom Ford did, and he hated it. Naturally, he wanted to Photoshop away the imperfections, which is perfectly understandable. They want their vision. Marilyn Minter fashionfordhate share on social
I love the idea of making images of the parts of the body that we all have but that no one pays attention to, like the soft area underneath your nose. Marilyn Minter areaattentionbody Change image and share on social
