‘TATTOOED NEW YORK’ @ NYHS
Tattooed New York, on display at the New York Historical Society from February through April 2017, portrayed the rich history of body art and tattoo culture in New York. The exhibit highlighted the transition of tattoos from Native American art form to sought-after commodity, opening with the Colonial Era and moving through the 20th century before arriving in 21st century New York City, where the practice continues to flourish today. DUGGAL’S ROLE Duggal printed six large-scale Vibrachrome™ photographs presenting bodies as canvases against black backdrops, revealing the unique use of a controlled color palette grounded in black ink.
