Pornhub explains the erotic art of museums. Be wary of the Uffizi

The Florentine Uffizi museum did not like the new initiative of the Pornhub site, which launched its first audio guide to “classic nudes”, with the slogan “Why porn may not be considered art, but some works of art can definitely be considered porn ». The audio guide developed by the pornographic video site is called «Classic Nudes», and the testimonial of the promotional video is Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina – an icon of world pornography – posing, dressed in a flesh-colored suit, impersonal the Venus of Botticelli.

“There is a treasure trove of erotic art all over the world, portraying nudes, orgies and more, not available on Pornhub: this pre-Internet art is kept in museums, now finally reopened with the easing of anti Covid restrictions” , says Pornhub brand ambassador Asa Akira in the launch video of the initiative. “When people go to the Louvre or the Met, they can just open Classic Nudes, and I’ll be their guide. Time to ditch those boring audio guides and enjoy every single brushstroke of these erotic masterpieces with me ».

But according to Adnkronos, the Uffizi would be ready to initiate a warning against MindGeek Holding, the Luxembourg company that owns Pornhub, which has not asked for – or even obtained – no authorization for the commercial use of the images of the museum, which would be responsible for deciding how to use it and the fee to be paid. This is not a particular fury towards the pornographic site: «It is one of the many cases of commercial use of our images without any authorization. We always move the same way. There is a specific law and we want it to be respected».

“Classic Nudes”, however, does not speak only of the works of the Uffizi, but of those present in several of the most important museums of the world: from the Louvre and D’Orsay in Paris to the Prado in Madrid, from the National Gallery in London to the Met in New York. They too could claim rights for unauthorized use of images of their works.
