Lot description

ARTIST: BORIS BUĆAN (1947- ) SIZE: 76 5/8 x 80 in./194.6 x 203.5 cm DESCRIPTION: Bućan adds a contemporary twist to the ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata, written by Aristophanes and first performed in 411 BC. The comedy traces a woman’s extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War by denying all men of land and sex. She encourages all women to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers to force them into peace negotiations. Bućan’s inspiration for this design was a Richard Avedon photograph of four naked women who appeared to be marching. He added heads that look like Greek vases and boom: an unforgettable image was made. This six-sheet silkscreen poster is hand-signed. (Contemporary; Theatre)
