Indepth Arts News: "Dorothy Iannone and Lee Lozano Seek the Extremes" 2006-07-07 until 2006-10-15 Kunsthalle Wien, Museumsquartier Wien, , AT Austria
Dorothy Iannone's art was censored for its supposedly pornographic content,
while Lee Lozano's early works, with their overtly sexual content, are less
known in the art world than her later, abstract conceptual works.
Lozano withdrew from the art world in 1972 after deciding to continue one
of her conceptual plans, to boycott women, until the end of her life, and
never again speak with women. Iannone‚s greatest theme is love, especially
the love of her life, Dieter Roth. She defies categorization in any of the
common styles.
Kunsthalle Wien is presenting the works of these two American artists for
the first time in Vienna. Although long marginalized by art history, they
are undoubtedly forerunners for several contemporary artists, both men and
women. Exhibited will be drawings, paintings, installations, video, and
artist's books.

Dorothy Iannone (*1933) and Lee Lozano (1930-1999): Entirely different in
their artistic views, both women manifest radical styles combining graphic,
at times cartoonish gestures with texts and puns. Whereas with Iannone it
is a horror vacui of characters, ornamental motives, and stories, Lozano
shows unrestrained, sharply humorous, and in the end monochrome drawings
and paintings.
