Selling Sex is an art exhibition of all female artists, featuring fetishistic wearable art and their various interpretations of the female nude. Among the pieces is a gloriously beautiful latex dress by Atsuko Kudo entitled ‘Armour for Prostitutes’ which you can purchase for a £15,000 (gulp!), stilettos made from ‘lacquered wood, horn, antique roman 24k gold beads, pit-fired porcelain and horse hair’ amongst other boggling materials by Aoi Kotsuhiroi at £3,200 as well as Souless Shoes from the Sado-Chic series by Betony Vernon that would have a foot fetishist scratching his head with wonder.  Photo by Roni Moc‡n Showstudio say the exhibition was curated with the aim of casting light on the fact that 8% of the work exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art is created by women, the Tate’s female holdings amounts to 15% and the Louvre today still has no female artists in their collection of over 35,000 artworks. “There remain only three industries in which women earn more money than men- pornography, prostitution and modelling.
