Sex & Art

To ring Sally Mann’s doorbell, you have to press the nipple of a welded breast, her husband’s handiwork. “This really separates our guests” he once quipped. It’s a perfect introduction to Sally’s world: irreverent, intimate, and unafraid to blur boundaries. Peggy Guggenheim shared a similar flair for provocation. Marino Marini’s The Angel of the City standing proudly on her Grand Canal terrace is a testament to her twin passions: sex and art.
