The Last Days of Pompeii [Eleanor Antin](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/eleanor-antin) Feb 15 – Mar 15, 2002 ![Antin A Hot Afternoon From The Last Days Of Pompeii 2001](/assets/exhibition_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/1703/Antin-A-Hot-Afternoon-from-The-Last-Days-of-Pompeii-2001.jpg) Description Eleanor Antin, a pioneering conceptual and multidisciplinary artist, will exhibit a series of fourteen new large-scale color photographs titled The Last Days of Pompeii. For over thirty years, Antin has been engaging in a dialogue with history, and her new photographs evoke narratives of sensual, decadent Rome seen through the screen of English and French salon painting (Alma-Taddema, Lord Leighton, Puvis de Chavannes…) in which the two great colonial powers tantalized themselves with their dream of the opulence, sensuality, and wickedness of the ancient power that preceded them.
