The present lot, Black Power, 2006, is an image that conveys with patent brevity Hank Willis Thomas’ interest in themes of perspective, identity, commodity, media, and popular culture. A powerful sentiment portrayed through a flashy apparatus, Black Power, 2006 demonstrates a tension between a struggle for racial equity and acknowledgement as well as a commodification of identity through popular media. Thomas’ broad and interdisciplinary career, surveyed in the Aperture text Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal, explores the relationship between the photographic image and issues of representation and perception.
