Launched last week with a special opening dinner at Chin Chin, the Museum of Erotic Art is a celebration of the beauty of sexual identity and the ability art has to free the spirit and encourage sexual expression. Included within the collection is Five-time Archibald Prize finalist Kim Leutwyler. She donated one of her signature pieces ‘Same Same’ with a current bid of $800 dollars, with the money going towards UNHCR it’s an absolute steal for pundits.
