Hippolyta & Theseus 1989 by

The couple are doing the Bull Dance. The beast had long horns which the dancer had to grab then voult over it. ( I think they used cows -much more dangerous than bulls especially if they took her calf away)
Crete.
From the exhibition “How to make Love stay” 1990
Framed original given to Victorio at the Piccolo Bar, Kings Cross.
