NEW YORK---[Through] February 5, 2017, the
Museum of Arts and Design presents "Chris Antemann: Forbidden Fruit," an installation of 21 porcelain sculptures resulting from the collaboration between Oregon-based artist
Chris Antemann and the renowned MEISSEN Porcelain Manufactory in Germany. Inspired by eighteenth-century porcelain figurines and decorative art, and using the Garden of Eden as her metaphor, Antemann has created a contemporary interpretation of the eighteenth-century banqueting craze, posing scantily clad male and female figures in intimate and playful vignettes of seduction.
