Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to present Erotic City, a group exhibition of over forty artists, curated by Martha Edelheit.

Her lush and vivid work is at once critical, sensual, and humorous. An important voice for feminist art, she is known for both her frank depictions of sexuality and her insistence on their place within an art historical tradition and society.
