by Henry Fuseli is firmly anchored within the realm of nineteenth-century erotica. In this pencil and watercolor sketch, three women couple with a prostrate man, his head hidden between the thighs of the woman on the right. The four bodies form a pyramid; the figure at the apex lowers herself on to the erection of their common lover, while the third figure assists by holding his penis. The women’s clearly evident pubic hair and brazen sexual appetites suggest that they are prostitutes. Their elaborate hairdos corroborate that through a link to earlier works in Fuseli’s Efforts to suppress and obscure the pagan antiquities only intensified their allure, however, and the collection soon became one of the museum’s most popular attractions. Between 1822 and 1824, annual permit requests surged from 20 to upwards of 300, forcing the minister responsible for the Cabinet to prepare pre-printed authorization forms to meet the spike in demand.

Changing Societal Norms Regarding Erotic Art

Nauman’s art is predicated on the notion that an artwork does not always need to be an object, but may be an action or activity, performed either by the artist or by the audience. In this, his work relates to and furthers that of the influential French artist Marcel Duchamp who questioned the meaning of art and introduced the notion of the “readymade”: an artwork created from a pre-existing object, such
