Fisher Ross
Untitled, Motorcycle Bondage, San Francisco.

ca. 1978

About the Item

Fisher Ross. Untitled, Image #5, ca. 1975-80. Offset print postcard format. 4.5 x 6.5 inches; 12 x 15 inches framed. Excellent condition. Photographs from the archive of After Dark and Dance Magazine editor William Como. After Dark was an essential source on dance, theater, performance art, ballet, and cinema of the late 60 and 1970s and a foundational piece of gay cultural history that influenced a generation of artists. Body By Fisher was a series of very limited run offset print postcards produced by the artist. Given their erotic content, they would have been available only in very select retail locations in The Castro. No surviving examples are known to exist other than those from the Como collection. The 1980 Postcard depicted here (separate, not for sale) and sent to Como was prophetic as the entire estate of Ross was discarded/destroyed upon his death during the early days of the AIDS epidemic.
