Sawdy
The photo in this car door is from an earlier artwork that Kienholz exhibited at Documenta 5: a tableau
of life-size sculptures in which a group of white men castrates a Black man in a parking lot. By framing the photo in a car window, Kienholz takes us to the parking lot and we unwittingly become witnesses. This grim vision of American society was given no space within Photorealism. [text 2024]
