This silkscreen by Dorothy Iannone presents one of the artists most iconic visual statements : a radically erotic reimagining of the Statue of Liberty.
The work is signed and numbered in pencil in lower center.
Surrounded by red, orange, and white stripes and a star-filled field in the upper right corner, the composition fuses American iconography with personal mythology and feminist provocation.
At the center of the figures torso is an excerpt from Emma Lazarus famous sonnet The New Colossus, reframing the statues invitation to the weary and oppressed within Iannones own vision of freedom through sexual autonomy.
The work is based on a drawing created by Iannone for her self-published vinyl record Ewig Grün (Forever True), further illustrating the artists seamless blending of visual art, text, and personal narrative.
Wenn keiner treu Dir bliebe, ich bleib Dir ewig grün, Du meine alte Liebe,Berlin bleibt doch Berlin.
When no one stays by you,I'll remain forever true,my old love, you, Berlin will always stay Berlin.
Bespoke and elegantly framed in our own frame-shop.

Presentation
For more than six decades, Dorothy Iannone (1933, Boston–2022, Berlin) has attempted to represent ecstatic love, the union of gender, feeling, and pleasure. Today her oeuvre, which encompasses painting, drawing, collage, video, sculpture, objects, and artist's books, is widely recognized as one of the most provocative and fruitful bodies of work in recent decades in terms of the liberalization of female sexuality, and political and feminist issues.
As Fluxus artist Robert Filliou declared as early as in 1972, “She is a freedom fighter, and a forceful and dedicated artist, skillfully blending imagery and text, beauty and truth. Her aim is no less than human liberation." A narrative element fed with personal mythologies, experiences, feelings, and relationships runs through all of her work, unified by her distinctive colorful, explicit, and comic book style.
Active from the 1960s to the early 2020s, her work has been recently exhibited at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek (2022); the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2019); the Serpentine Pavilion, London (2018); the Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris (2016); MAMCO, Geneva (2017); the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunt, Zurich, and the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (2014); the New Museum, New York (2009).
