The Power of Theatrical Madness
London: ICA, (1986). Jan Fabre. Hardcover. 4to. Unpaginated. Pictorial glossy boards. Minor scuffing to boards. "Operating in the vortex between false and true existence, the one indistinguishable from the other, Mapplethorpe and Fabre metamorphose their subject matter, photographed or staged, so that the body is 'compromised' in a sublimation of itself, superheated and transmuted into a vehicle for the fever of pleasure and the joy of being." Profusely illustrated with full page b/w photographs and full page duo-tone drawings by Jan Fabre. The photographs were taken by Mapplethorpe during his stay in Antwerpen in January of 1985. In very good condition. vg. Item #12602
