Jim Shaw: The Wig Museum - Hardcover

by Jim Shaw (Artist), Doug Harvey (Contribution by), Philipp Kaiser (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

The inaugural exhibition of the Marciano Art Foundation, Jim Shaw: The Wig Museum highlights Shaw's (born 1952) career-long engagement with America's diverse histories. The Los Angeles local used the enigmatic artifacts found during the transformation of the former Scottish Rite Masonic Temple where the foundation resides--stage sets, robes, costumes and wigs--to construct a metaphor for the wig-wearing masonic and judiciary Anglo-Saxon power that is coming to an end.
