La Duchesse de K___ as la Reine des Asperges in “La Triomphe végétal”, c. 1785 — a deliciously absurdist Gorey confection from his celebrated Scènes de Ballet series, designed for the New York City Ballet in 1976. With characteristic wit, Gorey imagines an 18th-century ballet featuring a duchess costumed as the Queen of Asparagus, rendered in his impeccable crosshatched ink style. Only Gorey could make haute culture and root vegetables feel equally dignified.
