The Judgment of Paris (after Rubens)
This piece of photographic art by Eleanor Antin from 2007 was in the British Museum Troy exhibition. It shows Paris choosing between the 3 goddesses Athene, Aphrodite and Hera, depicted in 20th century stereotypes of what they represent - war, love and marriage. Helen sits at the side looking understandably disgusted at the proceedings.
I suppose according to the mythology Paris's choice of Aphrodite led to his absconding with Helen and starting the Trojan War.
Great fun, probably the thing I liked most in the exhibition.
