Marilyn Minter: Elder Sex

Afterword by Naomi Fry.

Marilyn Minter: Elder Sex

Minter’s daring, sensational, intensely chromatic photo series of senior sex

Originally published for a 2022 New York Times article on “The Joys (and Challenges) of Sex after 70,” this photographic series by Marilyn Minter explores the almost unchartered territory of sex late in life. Intimate, fantastically bold, sometimes shocking and very Marilyn Minter in the best way, these photographs cast an uninhibited look at “unconventional” bodies and challenge our traditional and often stereotyped vision of sex. Ultimately, these joyful, empowering and body-positive images remind us that the frontiers of sexuality are unlimited and that we can choose the type of pleasure we want at every stage of our lives.
An afterword by acclaimed New Yorker writer Naomi Fry dwells on the feminist implications of Minter’s work as it addresses the issues our society faces when it comes to aging.
In paintings, videos and photos, Marilyn Minter (born 1948) has been exploring the intersection of desire, feminism and modes of representation since the late 1960s. She has had solo exhibitions at White Columns in New York and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art among other locations. Her retrospective Pretty/Dirty was presented in 2016 at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and MCA Denver, before traveling to the Orange County Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum in New York.

Wallpaper*

Harriet Lloyd-Smith

In true Minter form, Elder Sex holds no bars. It is an unbridled, empowered and ultimately, jubilant celebration of intimacy and pleasure, proving that older age and sexiness make titillatingly comfortable bedfellows.

CNN: Style

Jacqui Palumbo

The photographs beckon our attention to challenge something still seen as taboo, showing playful, loving moments of pleasure.

BUST Magazine

Niesha Davis

Delves deeper into what it truly means to embrace sensuality and lead a sexually fulfilling life as one ages.

Joy and magnificence in Valentine's Day staff pick, 'Elder Sex'

Featured spreads are from Marilyn Minter: Elder Sex, JBE Books’ beautifully-produced and celebratory monograph based on the artist’s recent work for a New York Times feature on the joys and challenges of sex after seventy. In her aptly-named catalog essay, “Screw it, this is who I am,” New Yorker writer Naomi Fry states that Minter's work "shows us that we are human in our fullness, in our repellent and attractive parts, and, too, that what counts as repellent can also often be attractive. In the Elder Sex, photos, Minter is unembarrassed to put on display what we are not used to seeing—what culture thinks we don’t want to see—and there is joy and magnificence in that gesture. The bodies that Minter depicts heave and pulse with sensation and texture, giving us something radical. They’re real, and they’re spectacular.” continue to blog
