Ruthlessly

Keinholz's
grotesquely
theatrical
scenario
compels
the
viewer
to
witness
what he
termed
a
'social
castration'
.
(Caption
,
p.123)
; "If
[James]
Rosenquist's
politics
were
compromised
by his
Pop
gloss
, a
more
abrasive
form
of
social
commentary
was
conducted
throughout
the
1960s
by the
Los
Angeles-based
assemblage
artist
Ed
Keinholz
.
Keinholz
had
helped
consolidate
West
Coast
Pop's
distinctive
'funk'
idiom
with the
establishment
, in
1957
, of
Los
Angeles's
important
Ferus
Gallery
, in
collaboration
with the
curator
Walter
Hopps
. By the
turn
of the
1970s
his
response
to
nearly
two
decades
of
racial
tension
,
epitomized
by
riots
in
Los
Angeles's
Watts
district
in
1965
and in
hundreds
of
other
cities
in
1967
and
1968
, was a
stark
tableau
first
shown
at
Documenta
5
in
Kassel
,
Germany
, in
1972
.
It
consisted
of
life-sized
mannequins
and
related
props
. Its
imagery
was
nightmarish
.
Lit

headlights

parked

while
his
white
'date'
cowered
,
vomiting
, in the
truck
from
which
he had been
dragged.
