Penny Slinger: the feminist surrealist who was too erotic for the art world
Penny Slinger is the British feminist surrealist whose work in the 1960s and 70s was groundbreaking – but then she disappeared. Now living in Los Angeles, she talks to The Last Bohemians about her incredible life: being pals with Lee Miller, living in a turret with pet falcons, finding her way in a male-dominated art world, how tantra revitalised her life and work, performing a real-life sex scene in the only feature film directed by a woman in the 1970s, sensual and sexual liberation – and why desire doesn't diminish with age. She just hopes she lives to see her first retrospective.
