Summary
During the 1980's Ferrari was living in exile in Brazil creating a limited number of ring bound, numbered and signed copies of books that he distributed among his friends and colleagues. This was how Cuadro Escrito (Written Painting, 1984), Parahereges (Forheretics, 1986), and Imagens (Images, 1988-89) came into being, and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires is launching all three titles in a facsimile collection. Parahereges (a series of collages with prints by Albert Durer intervened with erotic images from the Far East) was published in 1986 by one of the most controversial and provocative artists of our time: conceptual artist León Ferrari (b. Argentina, 1920-2013).

  • "In these collages the author clipped, merged and glued drawings from different sources particularly from Durer series 'Apocalypse', 'Great Passion' and 'The Life of Mary', created between 1495 and 1515 and published in 'Albert Dürer, Catalogue raisonné des Bois Graves', Berhaus International, 1980. All the erotic drawings - Chinese, Japanese, Hindu and Nepalese - were produced by Penny Slinger, who translated into lines hundreds of miniatures and engravings from Tantra and Taoism, published in 'Sexual Secrets, the alchemy of ecstasy' by Douglas and Slinger, Destiny Books, New York, 1979. The Churches and plates 8 through 11 are the work of Leon Battista Alberti: Saint Andrea and Saint Sebastian in Mantua and Saint Pancratius in Florence. They were reproduced from the journal Architectural Design, vol. 49, no. 5-6. Plate 38 shows the Reims Cathedral. The dragon's body in plate 7 is part of Hans Holbein's engraving and the beast was imprisoned and with it the false prophet, which appear in 'Le Livre secret de L'Apocalipse' by Gile Quispel, editions Albin Michel, Paris, 1981. Also from the same book came the angel repeated 15 times in plate 23 and in the three angels in plate 28. Those last four are anonymous illustrations from Hans Lufft's Bible, a [G]erman version by Martin Luther printed by Lufft in Wittenberg in 1534. The Venus in plate 28 is an Aphrodite by Praxiteles of the fourth century B.C. and the Apollo in plate 24 is a roman bronze from 460 B.C. found at Selinunte. Plate 36 shows a reproduction of the Christ in Majesty from the apse of the San Clemente de Tahull, both found at the Museum of Catalan Art, Barcelona."--Colophon.
