NEW YORK
Beverly Hills John, 2012
The last time we saw John Waters, he was at the Miami Book Fair shocking audiences with terms like "anal-lingus." He's back at it with a new show Beverly Hills John, of painting and sculptures, at the Marianne Boesky Gallery. His goal: to make you laugh uncomfortably and uncontrollably while he satirizes the film, art, and literature industries. Everyone's a target and nothing is sacred, as you can see in the work above where Waters Photoshopped himself with an extreme face-lift in Beverly Hills John, 2012.
