HERB RITTS (1952-2002)


Interview / Madonna
Screenprint, bus stop poster. 1739x1200 mm; 68 1/2x47 1/4 inches. [New York,] June, 1990.

In the year of her Blonde Ambition tour, Madonna scandalized the world, courting controversy with her simulated masturbation moves on stage. Herb Ritts captures that moment for the cover of Warhol's Interview magazine with his now infamous "crotch grab" portrait in which the performer is also grabbing her own breast.
