This volume examines the censorship of Iannone's work, using her 1970 artist's book \u003ci\u003eThe Story of Bern\u003c\/i\u003e as a starting point. Iannone's works were removed from an exhibition at Kunsthalle Bern in 1969, after the museum director demanded that the genitals in her paintings be covered. Iannone responded with \u003ci\u003eThe Story of Bern\u003c\/i\u003e, reclaiming her work from the controversies surrounding it by making her perspective public. In a nod to the censorship of Iannone's work, the explicit image on the cover of this book is hidden by a belly band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 10.6 x 7.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 24, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769759236384,"sku":"9783037643785","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bdf8bceef06fc3e21cea744611701d05.webp?v=1780355663","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/dorothy-iannone-censorship-and-the-irrepressible-drive-toward-love-and-divinity-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
