“The work reflects the emotional and physical impact of her open-heart surgery,” (Muriel Mager)
Because I had an inflamed mitral valve in 2004 and nearly died, my heart was especially open. It had to be repaired, otherwise it would collapse sooner or later.
I could have it done immediately or wait. The day after the appointment was made, on September 28th, the newspaper reported that there were too many deaths at Radboud University Medical Center and a nice little article: Heart surgeon uses drawings by Da Vinci.
I considered that a divine message.
I would be delighted if I can help you, wrote Dr. Francis Wells. A man to fall in love with. He passionately explained to us what Leonardo had discovered by cutting open a heart, experimenting, simulating its functioning and explaining it all by means of drawings.
In his office, Francis drew a mitral valve for me like a flower opening and closing. I felt confident enough to entrust my heart to him, and at the end of 2005, right after Paris Photo, I had the surgery in Cambridge. I was completely happy and full of renewed zest for life after this successful open-heart surgery.
In 2013, Francis published his book The Heart of Leonardo.
Muriel Mager of Galerie Contour would like to bring this work back into the spotlight, because twenty years later, it remains a brilliant and fantastic work. She calls it “truly insanely gender fluid.“
