CATHERINE OPIE, DYKE DECK, 1995
54 playing cards, 1.7 × 7.1 × 9.6cm in box, each card 6.5 × 9.1cm
“Catherine Opie’s legendary 52-piece Dyke Deck of playing cards. Released in 1995, they feature highly stylised portraits of Opie’s queer community, many friends and others cast during an open call in San Francisco. In the Dyke Deck, Opie divided up the images into four categories to correspond with the four suits: Couples are Hearts; Jocks are Clubs; Femmes are diamonds; Butches are spades.” - Climax Books
