Janet Taylor Pickett’s “Hagar’s Dress” is on view at Telfair Museums

telfair museums
Janet Taylor Pickett’s Hagar’s Dress, 2007, is on view at the Contemporary Spotlight: New Acquisitions from the Brandywine Workshop exhibition at the Telfair Museums from February 4 – May 1, 2022.
The exhibition is an opportunity to celebrate Telfair Museums‘ recently acquired lithographs by Black artists.  This acquisition moves the museum forward in its long-term goal of diversifying the collection and highlighting the works of underrepresented artists and narratives.  Other than two works by noted Georgia-born painter Benny Andrews, these compelling works on paper were created by significant female artists – Faith Ringgold, Deborah Willis, Emma Amos, Selma Burke, Sonya Clark, Gwendolyn Knight, Samella Lewis, Janet Taylor Pickett, Howardena Pindell, Alison Saar, Betye Saar, and Lorna Williams.  Created in the late 20th century and 21st century, these works cover a wide range of timely themes, including the legacies of slavery and racism in the United States, spirituality, education, womanhood, and nature.  They also effectively illustrate the visual, social, and political scopes of the powerfully versatile medium of printmaking.

Zhang Hongtu’s “Mai Dang Lao” from the Brooklyn Museum Collection is featured on PBS NYC – ARTS

ZHANG HONGTU:

Zhang Hongtu, Mai Dang Lao (McDonald’s), 2002, set of 4pcs, cast bronze, edition of 10 plus 2 AP’s, actual size
Zhang Hongtu’s Mai Dang Lao (McDonald’s) was featured on the February 17, 2022 episode of the PBS program, NYC-ARTS.  The February 17, 2022 NYC-ARTS episode presented the “Arts of China” gallery of the Brooklyn Museum, which highlights 5,000 years of Chinese artistic accomplishments.  
In Mai Dang Lao (McDonald’s), a hamburger box, french fries container, a fork, and a knife, are cast in bronze and adorned with traditional Chinese motifs, like the taotie mask, which is typically featured on ancient ritual bronze vases used in Chinese ancestor worship.  Here it is combined with the iconic logo of the fast-food giant, transforming the “Happy Meal” into a Shang Dynasty artifact.  The creative juxtaposition of ancient China with contemporary America, and ritual art with consumer culture, is a whimsical critique of the systems of power.  The artist, Zhang Hongtu, a leader of the Political Pop movement in contemporary Chinese art, lives in Queens, New York, after emigrating from China in the 1980s.
