'I realized the power of art to infuriate people.' John Waters on how he built his art collection—and then gave it away:
a newly opened exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art where the auteur’s collecting appetite is on full display.
While Waters himself did not curate the exhibition, he had Catherine Opie and Jack Pierson, artists and friends whose works are included in his collection, handpick the art on view. Waters’s relationship with his art collection hasn’t been one of just physical intimacy , but conceptual kinship. Collectively, the works in “Coming Attractions,” whether Mike Kelley’s sardonic sculptures or Sherman’s identity-busting self-portraits, bear out the kind of audacity that Waters himself has embraced in his own craft.
