Rachel Feinstein
Rachel Feinstein is an artist who investigates and challenges the concept of luxury as it was expressed in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe, in the context of contemporary parallels. By synthesizing visual and societal opposites such as romance and pornography, elegance and kitsch, and the marvelous and the banal, she explores issues of taste and desire.
