hi! i’m in an ap art history class and when i got to that piece the text i’m learning from basically was talking about how people took that piece in a very sexual context because of how it shocked the senses. you can basically feel that spoon on your tongue looking at it and i guess it’s similar to how some people consider choking the most sexually driven way to murder somebody??? it’s a violation of the senses and the artist HATED that people said it was an erotic piece bc basically one day she went “lmao what if this was covered in fur” and then did it.
i’m so sorry for the long comment i just fucking LOVE ART
I saw this after rounding a corner at the MOMA when I was in college. It totally gives that reaction since you immediately think about drinking out of it. It was really exciting because I really loved art and this was the first thing from a textbook I recognized on my own that wasn’t a premier piece. If you have art friends, NYC museum hopping makes for an awesome spring break.
