“Eros in Modern Art”

Since nothing whets our midday appetite like a nice helping of art-versus-porn ambiguity, we're glad to see that the Swiss at least seem to have the distinction down pat with the new Eros in Modern Art exhibition at the Fondation Bayeler in Basel, which opened this weekend and runs through next February, when it will move to the Kunstforum in Vienna. With more than 200 works on display from the collection of eminent collectors and gallerists Hildy and Ernst Beyeler, the show aims to portray "(a)n involvement with all forms and facets of eros—love, passion and lust, desire and sexual union ", with artworks that range from Egon Schiele's fetishy proto-upskirt drawings to Jeff Koons' sculptural ... er, whatever they are. And hey, they use the word "eros" in the title—so it must be art!
