3 Color Lithograph with Collage with Rives paper
Signed and numbered 6/84 by the artist on the front
24 × 18 inches
Unframed
Printed by James Miller and Maurice Sanchez at Derriere L'Etoile Studio. This rare Vito Acconci mixed media work on paper was created as part of the 1987 portfolio "The Ten Commandments", in which ten top Jewish American artists were each invited to choose an Old Testament commandment to interpret in contemporary lithographic form. Lisa Liebmann, who wrote the introduction to the collection, observed: "...The image has, for most of us, replaced the word..." With respect to the present work she writes, "THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT against adultery is "in fashion" once again today, though ten years ago conjugal fidelity seemed more like pleasant or happenstance for a happy few, or merely the unsophisticated condition of those lacking opportunity and imagination. Vito Acconci's paean to lust, a state of lapse which he's always believed in, now seems at once poignant - an old fashioned enthusiasm inextricably bound to guilt which is also out of fashion - and unexpectedly radical - propaganda for Eros, currently threatened with ex-communication. .."
This work is so iconic, that when Acconci died in 2017, the Jewish Museum tweeted out the image of this work - The Seventh Commandment.
