Pendant six décennies, Dorothy Iannone (née en 1933) a développé une iconographie à la fois épique et intensément personnelle. Ses œuvres évoquent souvent les romans graphiques : des textes manuscrits et des images s'associent pour raconter une histoire avec humour et de manière directe. Au coeur de ses thématiques, on trouve la sexualité libérée et des scènes érotiques qui proviennent de représentations historiques d'unions extatiques à travers les époques, les cultures et les religions, avec des références à l'Antiquité grecque, romaine et égyptienne, au Kama Sutra et au Tantra, aux sagas islandaises, au christianisme, au bouddhisme, à la littérature mondiale et au cinéma.

""As much as Love and Eros have defined my work since its beginnings, so too has censorship or its shadow, accompanied it," recalls Dorothy Iannone in her introduction to this facsimile publication of her legendary "The Story of Bern, [or] Showing Colors." First published in 1970, the book documents the censorship of Iannone's work "The (Ta)Rot Pack" (1968-1969) and the subsequent removal of all his works by her then companion, artist Dieter Roth, from a collective exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bern. For his exhibition entitled "Freunde, Friends, d'Fründe," Harald Szeemann invited Karl Gerstner, Roth, Daniel Spoerri, and André Thomkins who all decided to exhibit their artists friends; Roth chose Iannone alongside Emmett Williams. The censorship of Iannone, and Roth's protest, eventually led to Harald Szeemann's resignation as the director of the institution. Telling the story of this act of censorship as well as the context of the exhibition in Bern and its iteration in a non-censored version in Düsseldorf, "The Story of Bern" is emblematic of Iannone's distinctive, explicit, and comic book style, and of her openness about sexuality and the strengthening of female autonomy. Accompanied by a 4-page insert that includes a new text by Dorothy Iannone and an essay about the context of the book publication by Centre Pompidou curator Frédéric Paul, this publication is a facsimile of the original 1970 "The Story of Bern, [or] Showing Colors."" --
