Betty Tompkin explores heterosexual sex in her series Pussy Paintings presented in Zona MACO‘s main sector by Boston based gallery Samsøn.  Although first rejected by the art world due to the work’s crude nature, Tompkin is now embraced by first generation feminists who identify with her artistic philosophy.
