- Description
- This catalog of an exhibition at New York's Guggenheim Museum contains pictures in which the gender of the subjects is highlighted through performance for the camera and technical manipulation of the image. It includes six essays on issues such as surrealist ambiguity, the exhibitionist body art of the 1970s, 'queer theory' and 'queer reality', and the fluidity of gender identity. Features work by Cecil Beaton, Brassa', Claude Cahun, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Hach, Man Ray, Janine Antoni, Matthew Barney, Nan Goldin, Lyle Ashton Harris, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annette Messager, Yasumasa Morimura, Catherine Opie, Lucas Samaras, Cindy Sherman, Inez van Lamsweerde and Andy Warhol.
