In the heyday of Times Square porn the “money shot” was developed to prove that the sex-on-film was real and not simulated. The proof? Cum. The (male) ejaculation onto the body of his co-star. In her debut solo show at Paul Kasmin Gallery, Judith Bernstein unveils Money Shot, a series of large- scale paintings starring the Trump administration, its horrific present and terrifying potential future. The gallery is outfitted with blacklight, which alters the paintings even during daytime hours. The works glow orange, green, violet, and acid yellow against pitch black. The unstable colors signal that nothing will ever look or be the same as it was before. But, this isn’t the dark of night. This place is tinged with psychedelia.

  • Deborah Kass & Betty Tompkins
    “FRONTRUNNER Presents: Deborah Kass & Betty Tompkins,” by Shana Beth Mason for Frontrunner, January 29, 2021. FRONTRUNNER Presents: Deborah Kass & Betty Tompkins At one point or another within the last ten years, I’ve laughed, cried, gossiped and shared meals with Betty Tompkins (alongside her husband, Bill Mutter) and Deborah Kass (alongside her wife, Patricia Cronin). So it’s fair to say that both of these women mean a great deal to me. They are not only world-renowned artists who have been cruelly under-represented and under-appreciated for most of their creative lives, but they are true mentors in every sense. Their experiences and their wisdom are windows into an art world long gone – for many reasons, rightly so – and have deeply permeated their respective visual vocabularies. Deborah Kass (b. 1952, San Antonio, TX) received her BFA in Painting at Carnegie Mellon University and attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. Her works are in the permanent collections of MoMA, The Whitney Museum, The National Portrait Gallery (Washington, D.C.), The Smithsonian Institution, and The Jewish Museum (New York). She has presented work at the Venice Biennale, the Istanbul Biennale, and in 2012 was the subject of a mid-career retrospective at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. She is currently a Senior Critic at the Yale University MFA Painting Program. Kass is represented by Gavlak Gallery (Los Angeles/Palm Beach) and Kavi Gupta (Chicago). Betty Tompkins (b. 1945, Washington, D.C.) received her BFA from Syracuse University, then taught at Central Washington State College (Ellensburg), where she received her graduate degree.

In Tompkins' impressionist paintings on photographic images, women from the 30's and 40's saucily act out in a frothy, leafy, grassy, effulgent playground, like nymphs in a naturalist boudoir. In contrasting colors, where the red next to green or fuchsia beside puce is as vibrant as a gift wrapped with the freshness of nature; Betty Tompkins' pin-ups from the past cavort in the outdoors. Like a flurry of covert caresses between viridian landscapes and scantily clad figures, tantalizing fleshy hues are discretely muted by the photographic gradations from white to black as they lay in the arms of pastel bushiness.

[Heigl Betty Tompkins, interviewed by Elliat Albrecht was quoted as saying the that film “paints the women as shrews, as humourless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys”.] Rogen and Apatow really pushed It was late afternoon in early June 2018—as the sun split through the trees onto the back at the statement, and her career really went south afterwards because of it.

It’s interesting to see how blatant the caricaturisation of women is in film and television from even ten years ago.

Pornography is an inexhaustible treasure trove of reference material for those who desire to render the body, and Tompkins, following her graduation from Yes, it has actually really changed how we can see them.

  • Betty Tompkins 18.01 > 17.03.2018
    [email protected] — WWW.RODOLPHEJANSSEN.COM Betty Tompkins 18.01 > 17.03.2018 Rodolphe Janssen is pleased to announce Betty Tompkin’s forth solo project with the gallery from Jan- uary 18th to March 17th 2018. Betty tompkins began painting large scale, photorealistic airbrush paintings of penetrations and mastur- bations in 1969. Beside the feminist content of her work, her intention from the start was to have two distinct elements which would allow the abstract and the sexual content to coexists equally in the work. She achieved this by cropping the images in such a way that only the explicit sexual parts remain, without heads or other body parts. After some group shows in the early 1970’s, her work remained widely overlooked by the critics and art market due to its subject matter. In 1973, two of her works were held and confiscated by French customs for censorship reasons. In 2003, Tompkins was invited by the New York curator Bob Nickas to take part in the 7th Biennale de Lyon which brought extraordinary attention to her work. After that, the Centre Georges Pompidou ac- quired Fuck Painting #1 (one of the two paintings that had been censored in 1973) for its permanent collection. Since the late 1960’s, Betty Tompkins has been painting her Fuck, Cunt or Kiss Paintings, studying dif- ferent mediums going from airbrush to stamps, graphite powder or fingerprints. She imposes a distance with her explicit subjects, or as she says : « I see something intimate made monumental - we see a visual we don’t usually see in a medium we don’t expect.

  • To #Sendnudes: Social Media and Censorship of Art
    AiA news-service OPINION From “The Origin of the World” to #SendNudes: Social Media and Censorship of Art Date: July 19, 2019Author: centerforartlaw0 Comments By Hannah Tager. WARNING: this article contains explicit content. In April of 2019, Instagram deactivated the account of American feminist art pioneer Betty Tompkins. The social media platform barred Tompkins from creating a new one after the artist posted a photograph of her painting Fuck Painting #1 (1969), an artwork owned by the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Only after a formal report by Tompkins and a barrage of complaints from her followers did Instagram reinstate the artist’s original account, providing no further information regarding its earlier deactivation. Tompkins’s 2019 experience is not unique. Both emerging and established artists are reporting more and more cases of censorship by social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, which was acquired by Facebook, Inc. in 2012. The quantity of these take downs is hard to ascertain, but members of the museum, artist, and academic communities have been repeatedly censored by the sites. Online platforms develop and enforce terms of service and algorithms to deter the circulation of pornography, inadvertently catching artists and their works in the cross-fire, and raising legal and artistic concerns regarding the effectiveness and legality of such terms. In the most drastic of cases, Facebook censored a photograph of the “Venus of Willendorf,” a 30,000 year old limestone figurine, in 2017. In another instance, a French teacher sued Facebook in 2018 for deactivating his account after he posted a photograph of Gustave Courbet’s painting “L’Origine du Monde” (1866).

  • BETTY TOMPKINS WOMEN Words, Phrases, and Stories 1,000 Paintings
    PRESS CONTACT: Maureen Sullivan Red Art Projects, 917.846.4477 [email protected] BETTY TOMPKINS WOMEN Words, Phrases, and Stories 1,000 Paintings Exhibition Dates: January 20 – May 14, 2016 Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 20, 6-8PM The FLAG Art Foundation, 545 West 25th Street, NY NEW YORK, NY – The FLAG Art Foundation presents Betty Tompkins: WOMEN Words, Phrases, and Stories from January 20 – May 14, 2016, on FLAG’s 10th floor gallery. The exhibition marks the first comprehensive presentation of 1,000 intimately-scaled, hand-painted works, each of which features a word or words used to describe women. Ranging from flirtatious to derogatory – with the four most used words being Mother, Slut, Bitch, Cunt – WOMEN Words emanates from Tompkins’s career-long commitment to challenge the representation of female identity, the politics of pleasure, and the role of sexuality in contemporary culture. In 2000 and 2013, Tompkins circulated the following email: “I am considering doing another series of pieces using images of women comprised of words. I would appreciate your help in developing the vocabulary. Please send me a list of words that describe women. They can be affectionate (honey), pejorative (bitch), slang, descriptive, etc. The words don't have to be in English but I need as accurate a translation as possible. Many, many thanks, Betty Tompkins.” The response was overwhelming, with over 3,500 words and phrases in seven languages submitted, equally split between men and women. In 2012, Tompkins was invited to create a performance in Vienna where 500 of the words and phrases were read aloud.
