An artist’s account of censorship and autonomy

Published as a facsimile of Dorothy Iannone’s 1970 comic-book work, *The Story of Bern, [Or] Showing Colors* connects the censorship of her art with questions of sexuality and female autonomy. Its historical subject is an episode surrounding *The (Ta)Rot Pack* and a collective exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bern, where Dieter Roth’s works were subsequently removed. Iannone’s introduction reflects on censorship as a recurring presence in her work. At 74 pages, the book brings together the comic-book tale and that contextual reflection in a compact art publication.
