Del’s were taken in Scott’s Bar, an underground lesbian leather dive in ’80s San Francisco. Eisenman’s version includes the photos’ leather vest over bare breasts and expands to a community scene that is passionate, in thrall, and very individuated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTrash, a mustached bodybuilder in heels, is dancing on the bar for tips, while the unfazed bartenders keep the beer flowing. Two separated dykes, on barstools, are alone, depressed, and drunk amid the frenzy, while the rest are highly engaged, often in couples. Sex is happening, ass-grabbing, breast-baring, and also convivial conversation. Kissing, fighting, explicating, large, small, butch, femme, happy, sallow. And most important, these lesbians are crowded into a very small space, as was almost always the case in lesbian bars, basically stark and empty rooms to which the women, themselves, brought romance and glamour.\" -  Sarah Schulman, Artforum\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ellen Cantor, Elise Dodeies, Nicole Eisenman, Daphne Fitzpatrick, Eliza Jackson, G.
