"To present the artist as a rock star" perfectly captures the ambition of this deluxe fanzine, whose third opus celebrates an artist, whose immense prestige approches that of a goddess. Since the 1960s, Dorothy lannone has delivered a liberating and fascinating body of work where the intimate couples with the universal and self-realization harmonizes with the great mythological narrative. In a disarmingly candid tone, the drawings from her (Ta)Rot Pack (previously unpublished and featured here in their integrality) resonate with an ardent message of love and a salutary hedonistic philosophy. "Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name: Dorothy lannone."

 

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
