Description

Photographic work by Sheila Pinkel, Crush (from "Thermonuclear Gardens", black-and-white photocopy produced on gelatin silver paper, 12" x 36", 1985). The image illustrates a key shift and body of work in Sheila Pinkel's career beginning in the 1980s, when she turned to highly political art which combined research, data visualization, appropriated images and photographic experimentation in a range of sociopolitical critiques. Crush represents her "Thermonuclear Gardens" series (1981–91), which examined the growth of the U.S. military-industrial complex and nuclear industry and its negative impact on the environment, health, jobs sectors and geo-political regions, as well as her use of appropriated commercial imagery and photographic technologies, including photocopies. This series of work has been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating an mid-career period and body of work in Sheila Pinkel's work that began in the 1980s: her political art, which was broadly influenced by conceptual artists such as Hans Haacke, Joseph Beuys and Allan Sekula. This work combined research, data visualization, and photographic experimentation in examinations of the American military-industrial complex, nuclear industry, and consumption patterns, and their effects, among other subjects, sometimes incorporating the look, techniques and imagery of commercial advertising. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this important shift in her art, which brought ongoing recognition from art journals, daily press publications, and art institutions. Pinkel's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
