Rising to prominence in the early 1980s, Julia Wachtel’s artistic practice focuses on the visual language of mass culture. By juxtaposing found imagery from commercial media with hand-painted figures, Wachtel interrogates the intersection of consumerism, sentimentality, and political discourse. This volume examines her career-long commitment to deconstructing the pervasive influence of corporate iconography on contemporary identity.
