Marilyn MinterElder Sex

In 2022, The New York Times Magazine published “The Joys (and Challenges) of Sex After 70” by Maggie Jones, which featured interviews with seniors discussing their sex lives. The article was accompanied by new images from Marilyn Minter, who was asked to photograph couples in their later decades engaging in intimate moments. Minter later expanded upon the subject, producing nearly three dozen images of sexually active elders in the artist’s signature steamy style.

Works from the Elder Sex series are collected in a catalogue published by JBE Books, Paris, with an essay by The New Yorker’s Naomi Fry. Select photographs from the series debuted in Minter’s eponymous solo exhibition at LGDR, New York in Spring 2023.
