Publisher's Synopsis
For more than six decades, Dorothy Iannone (1933-2022) represented ecstatic love, the union of gender, feeling and pleasure. Today, her oeuvre is widely recognized as one of the most provocative and fruitful bodies of work in recent decades in terms of the liberalization of female sexuality, and political and feminist issues. A narrative element fed with personal mythologies, experiences and feelings runs through all of her work, unified by her distinctive colorful and graphic style. This publication sheds new light on the legendary artist's practice by dealing specifically with her idiosyncratic takes on performativity and transdisciplinarity.
