My Heroine and Her Mate

Years before Tracey Emin presented us with her depressing bed, grubby sheets and the tent of lovers' ghosts, even before Marina Abramovic stripped with Ulay in questioning the modern notion of decorum, there was Dorothy Iannone - the woman and the artist. Born in Boston in 1933, this pioneer or feminist erotica embarked on a daring journey across the world, lead by art, love and desire. Today, Dorothy Iannone is widely recognized for the work she did during the 1970s, when she dedicated an entire artistic Saga to Dieter Roth, a Swiss artist she fell deeply in love with, but her roots go deeper than that era.
