2022

About the Item

I Don't Want to be D. Hand tufted rug, wool and cotton 160 x 200 cm Made in France Limited edition of 20 copies, numbered & signed + 5 AP « Iannone resists any kind of expectation with joyful gusto, disobeys every authority (except those she gleefully submits to), redefines her place in the world by creating an ever-expanding field of possibilities in that world-possibilities that arise as she turns everything inside out. These reversals abound in Iannone’s work, whether through inversion (and merging) of male and female, muse and maker, sacred and profane, celestial and carnal, submis- sion and domi- nance, compliment and insult, humor and earnestness. Nothing is quite as it seems, or wholy one thing or another. » 1 These words by Lisa Pearson on Dorothy Iannone’s work shine a light on the collaboration existing between WE DO NOT WORK ALONE and Dorothy Iannone since 2018 that started with the edition of the Forever True lamp. The artistic project of Dorothy Iannone has a profound spiri- tual dimension, it is the expression of a practice considering art like a way of life where art is both the reflection and the motor of everything. Thus, it may not be a surprise that some of Dorothy Iannone’s graphic works were to be turned into touchable and usable objects, especially as the artist has a long history of interest in multiples, prints and silkscreens. The rug I don’t want to be D. was conceived after a drawing extracted from the 1968 Dialogue Series (Dialogue IX, 1968) where Iannone describes the intimacy of her love story with Dieter Roth but also the fear of the dissolution of her identity in their consuming love. Specular self portrait, this hand-tufted rug, is also a mythological evocation of the projection of the self bearing a universal message. This hand tufted rug is made in France in 20 copies. 1 Lisa Pearson in Dorothy Ian- none, you who read me with passion now must forever be my friend, 2014

It is one of the most desirable multiples of Dorothy lannone. Dorothy Iannone (August 9, 1933 – December 26, 2022) was an American Artist. Her autobiographical texts, films, and paintings explicitly depict female sexuality and "ecstatic unity." She lived and worked in Berlin. The majority of Iannone's paintings, texts, and visual narratives depict themes of erotic love. Her explicit renderings of the human body draw heavily from the artist's travels and from Japanese woodcuts, Greek vases, and visual motifs from Eastern religions, including Tibetan Buddhism, Indian Tantrism, and Christian ecstatic traditions like those of the seventeenth-century Baroque.

  • Flowers, (After) Andy Warhol -Pop Art, Tapestry, Edition, Contemporary, Design
    By Andy Warhol
    Located in Zug, CH
    (After) Andy Warhol Flowers, 1968 Hand Woven Wool Tapestry 183 x 183 cm (72 x 72 in) Edition of 20 With the knotted name ‘ANDY WARHOL’ lower right and the embroidered annotation ‘WARHOL ©’ on the reverse Published by Modern Master Tapestries, NY Throughout art history, the flower and its symbolism have been a subject matter for many renowned artists. Andy Warhol explored the qualities of the flower image through his Pop Art prism in the Flower series of 1964, thus creating cartoon-like symbols that would be instantly recognized. The 1964 Flower series became one of his most iconic and successful works. Based on a discovered photograph of hibiscus blossoms, Warhol drenched the flowers’ floppy shapes with a variation of vibrant colors, transforming them into psychedelic indoor décor. Playing with traditional art historical themes, Andy Warhol gave a particular twist to this historically accepted symbol of life. The electric colors of his flowers, drawn from a darker and rich undergrowth background might be the indicator of an extreme vision of life, a life lived on the edge. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement. ​Using a variety of media materials from photographs up to computer-generated art, Warhol's works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity, culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Emerging from the poverty and obscurity of an Eastern European immigrant family in Pittsburgh, Warhol became a charismatic magnet for bohemian New York. In 1960, he began to produce his first canvases depicting Popeye and Dick Tracy. After Marilyn Monroe’s death in August 1962, he started working from snapshots of the star’s already legendary face, which had been widely distributed by the world’s press. His choice of subjects clearly relates to an obsession with demise – his Marilyns, his Ten Lizies (created when the actress Elizabeth Taylor was seriously ill), and also his Elvis. Part of the “Death and Disaster” series, Andy Warhol´s...
