Art Boobs
Art Boobs is about fine art that prominently features female breasts. It prefers the voluptuousness of the Venus of Willendorf
over the hardbodied Venus de Milo.
It celebrates the idea that throughout history societies have often tolerated artistic nudity more than actual nudity.
It could have been called Artits.
The author is male, Dutch and married to an artist.

Malia Jensen, Untitled Salt Breast 1, 2009, Richard Gray Gallery
My favorite art blogger PADDY JOHNSON (Art Fag City) is in Miami and writes: Surely Jensen is not the sole artist working in the field art boobery, and we intend to use the Miami fairs to prove this hypothesis (follow AFC on twitter here). “Untitled Salt Breast” one earns distinction for innovative use of salt licks, though, what else would you carve out that block anyway?
