“With her original, boundary-breaking works, Dorothy Iannone (Boston, 1933–Berlin, 2022) was a pioneer in granting a central role to the expression of female desire and a series of topics that confronted her with the censors on multiple occasions. She studied literature before becoming a self-taught artist, and although she associated with Fluxus circles and leading figures in 1960s European conceptual art, she never adhered to a particular style or movement and always maintained an absolutely [.......] position. Her friend Robert Filliou described her in 1977 as an artist who ‘for many years now, has been investigating through her visual work, her books and her records, the world of love and loving-styles. [...] She skilfully blends imagery and text, beauty and truth. She is a freedom fighter, and a forceful and dedicated artist. Her aim is no less than human liberation.’”
A richly illustrated catalogue published on the occasion of an exhibition at Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in 2026, with texts by curator Tania Pardo, Joanna Zielińka, John Giorno, and the artist herself.
