Erotic City

13 Mar, 2025 - 26 Apr, 2025
Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to present Erotic City, a group exhibition of over forty artists, curated by Martha Edelheit. Edelheit (b. 1931, New York, NY) is a pioneering artist whose work confronts dominant art historical paradigms, foregrounding female gaze and desire. Her lush and vivid work is at once critical, sensual, and humorous. An important voice for feminist art, she is known for both her frank depictions of sexuality and her insistence on their place within an art historical tradition and society. Edelheit, who has been represented by Eric Firestone Gallery since 2018, lived in Sweden from 1993 until 2024. Now in her 90s she once again lives and works in New York City. 

Martha Edelheit has selected over forty artists who express this vision of the erotic, with works ranging from the 1950s to the present. Erotic City includes both historic and contemporary artists and showcases artists whose sensual work would immediately come to mind鈥攕uch as Joan Semmel and Marilyn Minter鈥攁longside artists for whom the erotic has been a significant, though not always highlighted, focus. A public program related to the exhibition will be announced soon, for further exploration of its themes. We invite you to join us for the opening reception on March 13, from 6 to 8 p.m.
