A matter of time

There were years when no one bought Marilyn Minter’s art. There were years when no one would even look at it. It took a while, but things have definitely changed.
By Howard Halle

Big Girls, 1986
After parting company with Kohlhofer, Minter, who had substance-abuse problems of her own (“I’m genetically loaded,” she says), entered rehab. This painting was the first she did after becoming sober, and the first done on her own in nearly eight years that she “didn’t wind up destroying.”

  It's nice to know that sometimes it's persistance and belief in yourself that pays off. daydreamsbybarry.com
