The counterpart of sexually stimulating art is failed erotic art (or as Levinson 2006 would have it “nominally erotic art”): art that aims but does not succeed in stimulating its target audience sexually (see also Mag Uidhir 2010). Anti-erotic art, on the other hand, is art that aims to induce negative sexual feelings, thoughts, and imaginings in its target audience.  Otto Dix’s Old Couple (1923) or George Grosz’s Sex Murder in the Ackerstrasse (1916–7) could serve as illustrations. More recently, feminist artists such as Kiki Smith have explored the dark, violent, abject aspects of sexuality in their work (see, for instance, Smith’s Tale, 1992, and Blood Pool, 1992).
