IANNONE, Dorothy; MUNDER, Heike (ed.)
Censorship and The Irrepressible Drive Toward Love and Divinity

This publication sheds light on Dorothy Iannone’s work in relation to censorship, based on her artist’s book The Story of Bern. In spring 1969, the artist was confronted with the confiscation of her works in the exhibition Freunde (Friends) at Kunsthalle Bern, under the directorship of Harald Szeemann. Iannone responded to this boycott by producing a book, in which she made her perspective public and thus reclaimed self-determination over the content-related and formal aspects of her work, which had been labeled controversial.

With texts by Maria Elena Buszek, Dorothy Iannone, Heike Munder.
