Om verket
Ellen Gallagher altered a wig advertisement in Bouffant Pride, a collage of 2003 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The source was Ebony, in an issue published during the 1960s for an African American readership. Plasticine and toy eyes, together with paint and ink, transform the advertisement's promises of beauty into exaggerated images. Gallagher used the collage to address historical stereotypes about African Americans.
Med museets egna ord
Ellen Gallagher's work addresses the history of African American stereotypes. In this collage, the artist appropriated an advertisement for glamorous wigs from a 1960s issue of Ebony, a magazine geared toward African Americans. Using plasticine, toy eyeballs, paint, and ink, she exaggerated and completely transformed the images that once promised to beautify the magazine's average reader.
