Cicciolina to Receive 1st Pornhub Lifetime Achievement Award

NEW YORK — European adult icon Ilona Staller, better known by her stage name of Cicciolina, will be the recipient of the Pornhub Awards’ first-ever lifetime achievement award next month.

Pornhub made the announcement via the New York Post’s gossip page and Page Six.

“The erotic Jeff Koons sculptures that she inspired helped propel him to be the highest-grossing living artist of our time,” wrote Page Six's Oli Coleman.

“She famously featured in then-husband Koons’ 1990 ‘Made in Heaven’ series of hyperrealistic sculptures of the pair having some pedestal-worthy sex,” Coleman continued. “She’s also had a storied career in porn, not to mention a stint in the Italian parliament.”

Pornhub VP Corey Price told Page Six that Cicciolina is “the embodiment of an international superstar.”

“Her life and legacy is an intersection of art, fashion, politics and porn,” Price added.

Reached by the New York tabloid, Cicciolina declared herself “very happy to be given the award.”

“This is the perfect representation of the old and the new porn worlds coming together,” Cicciolina stated. “The fact that today I’m still recognized as I was then as the icon that marked an era, and within the porn industry itself, is such a great honor for me.”

“Porn is art!” Cicciolina declared.

Winners of the 2020 Pornhub Awards will be announced during a virtual ceremony on December 15.
