On Everyone's Lips: The Oral Cavity in Art and Culture

The mouth in art: adventures in the sensuous, the abject and the anatomical, from Hieronymus Bosch to Sarah Lucas
Mouth, lips, tongue and teeth; eating, swallowing, spitting, kissing: the oral cavity is an endlessly suggestive and inspiring bodily locus. Pursuing the wide-ranging path of this motif's history, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg presents the first comprehensive show on the topic of the mouth. The companion publication features essays that extend far beyond the exhibition, spanning film history, ethnology, literary theory and architecture.
