Structured around sexual desire as the central analytical category,
this monograph systematically approaches a heterogeneous array of
artworks to purposefully examine the entanglements of art, feminist
theory, gender, and sexuality. This book considers the potential of
sexually explicit art to challenge a socially constructed
conception of sexuality as well as gender, and explores the
sexually explicit as a means to (re-)claim agency for marginalized
subjectivities and to emancipate desire from within the patriarchal
and heteronormative system. In distinct case studies, the author
focuses on works by four US-American artists - Robert Mapplethorpe,
Joan Semmel, Betty Tompkins, and Tee A. Corinne - and situates them
in relation to contemporaneous debates associated with the
insurgent Sexual Liberation Movements of the 1970s. The book will
be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture,
and gender and sexuality studies.
