How A Biden Celebration Ad Borrowed From An Iconic Work By Artist Lorraine O’Grady

MEDIA Posted: November 11, 2020 1:34 pm

“The video shows Americans from various backgrounds and hailing from different parts of the country holding empty golden picture frames to the tune of “America the Beautiful.” The video is a reference to O’Grady’s iconic 1983 performance “Art Is…” in Harlem, New York.
