Based on a Rubens painting made in 1638, Eleanor Antin’s ‘Judgement of Paris’ presents a very different view of the characters from the Trojan War compared to the ancient depictions in our #TroyExhibition.

Antin gives the spheres of the three goddesses – war, sex and marriage – a humorous spin. Athena stands in the centre holding a machine gun, while Hera, wife of Zeus, is pictured as a 1950s housewife alongside the glamorously dressed Aphrodite.

On the left, Helen is objectified as the prize in this mythical beauty contest, and sits powerlessly while her fate – and the future of Troy – is decided around her.

See this work and other contemporary reinterpretations of the Trojan War in our #TroyExhibition. Find out more and book tickets via the link in our bio.
