The cult-film director John Waters famous for his groundbreaking flicks, Pink Flamingos and Hairspray, has donated 372 works of art by 125 artists to the Baltimore Museum of Art. An exhibition curated by queer artists Catherine Opie and Jack Pierson showcases this evocative gift. Opie and Pierson have chosen highlights from Waters’ collection for the BMA’s Nancy Dorman and Stanley Mazaroff Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, which opens today.
