Short contribution to the exhibition catalogue 'Nicole Eisenman - What Happened?, which opened at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, in 2023. Reckitt returns to her first encounter with Eisenman when they painted the mural 'Paola's Minotaure Hunt' at the ICA, London, as part of the 1993 'Bad Girls' exhibition curated by Kate Bus and Emma Dexter. Eisenman depicts naked amazons wielding spears – right breasts amputated to improve their throw – who circle several captive minotaurs. She recalls being impressed by the audacious extravagance of this wall-sized painting, and the gap that exists between its meticulous composition and imminent destruction.
