What Successful Artists Talk About When They Get Together Over Drinks

February 23, 2012 by Marion Maneker

The Wall Street Journal went to the opening of the Cindy Sherman retrospective where their party reporter ran into Marilyn Minter, Terence Koh, Jenny Holzer and Chuck Close. What do artists discuss when they get together for drinks? Marilyn Minter has the answer:

Ms. Minter, known for her erotic photography, said she and Ms. Sherman have shared iced teas. “What was the last thing we talked about?” the artist asked. “Her Audi TT! Cindy’s got a really cool sports car—the same one I want. We have an A7, but I want hers.” Is the TT the official sports car of female artists? No, “it is just the cool sports car for people over 40,” Ms. Minter decided.
