Annette Messager Les Uterus fleurissent

Annette Messager has created numerous artist books over the past 40 years. This new leporello-style artist book offers a partial response to the issue of the female body and a concern that women's desire —and especially their ability to openly express it—continues to be met with resistance. Indeed isn't this desire—women's desire—precisely the desire to be able to, as females, manifest, affirm, and express themselves?
