生于 1948 年，她巧妙地探索了美国文化的魅力病态，她的绘画、摄影和视频作品主要关注女性身体及其在大众媒体中的处理方式。从早期的作品，包括广受好评的《珊瑚岭塔》系列，该系列捕捉了艺术家母亲令人震惊的亲密关系，到她的《食物色情》系列，这些作品预示了数字时代对食物和消费的当代审美化，敏特的图像总是具有强烈的紧迫感。在引人注目的照相写实主义绘画和充满性欲的照片中，敏特将她的主题抽象化，重新想象它们处于美丽的边缘。
近年来，敏特将注意力转向了沐浴者这一主题。沐浴者曾经是西方艺术史中以男性为主导的领域，敏特的沐浴者表达了她们自己的能动性，她们经常被描绘在冰冷或蒸汽玻璃后面，她们以不同寻常的方式让观众消费她们的形象。 2021 年，该系列成为 Marilyn Minter：All Wet 个人展的主题，展览在法国蒙彼利埃的 MO.CO. Panacée 举行，并附带一份目录。
Born in 1948, she deftly explores American culture’s pathology of glamour through painting, photography, and video works which focus primarily on the female body and its treatment in popular media. From early bodies of work, including Coral Ridge Towers, a critically lauded series which captured the artist’s mother in shocking intimacy, to her Food Porn paintings, which anticipated the contemporary aestheticization of food and consumption in the digital age, Minter’s images are always powerfully urgent. In striking Photorealist paintings and sexually charged photographs, Minter abstracts her subjects as she reimagines them at the cusp of beauty.
In recent years, Minter has turned her attention to the bather as subject. Once the domain of a male-dominated Western art historical canon, Minter’s bathers express their own agency, oftentimes pictured behind frosty or steamed panes of glass, and are atypically discriminating in how they allow the viewer to consume their image. In 2021, this series was the subject of a solo exhibition, Marilyn Minter: All Wet, at MO.CO. Panacée, Montpellier (FR), with an accompanying catalogue.
