About the Item

Black is Beautiful by Wolf Vostell, published for Amnesty International in 1982, is a powerful political statement that emphasizes the dignity and intrinsic value of every individual. The artwork features an African woman standing bare-breasted, alongside an erased figure with the inscription "Chaque homme est une œuvre d'art" ("Every man is a work of art") in French. This message asserts that all individuals, regardless of race, are inherently valuable and worthy of respect. Vostell's piece predates the Black Lives Matter movement but resonates with similar themes of racial equality and human dignity. The artwork stands as an early expression of social justice and the celebration of Black beauty and identity. Shipping and Handling: We ship Worldwide.
