Whore.

edition of 100

This artists' publication formed part of the 9+9 exhibition at the International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC), Ljubljana in November 2010. It is an appropriation of Sanja Ivekovic's 1976 artists' book Tragedija Jedne Venere / Tragedy of a Venus, in which Ivekovic juxtaposed pictures of herself with images of Marilyn Monroe sourced from a special issue of the magazine Duga, published in November 1975 under the title Tragedy of a Venus. In the present work, Whore, Tanja Lazetic has scanned selected spreads from Ivekovic's book onto which the word 'whore' has been stamped in red.

First edition, one of 100 copies, signed on the first page; (261 x 184 mm, 10¼ x 7¼ in); black-and-white photographs of pages of a book with the word 'whore' stamped over them in red; photo-illustrated wire-stitched card covers, fine; [36]pp.
