Quinn Tivey

IN VOGUE

2012
archival pigment print
26 x 19 1/2 inches

Quinn Tivey’s intriguing photographic work, In Vogue, initially appropriates the magazine, and then adds another layer of meaning by photographing it a couple times in an altered, yet malleable, state. Tivey cleverly warps this broad cultural icon and manages to create a narrow sign of personal interpretation, perhaps making a poignant statement on the unstable illusion of contemporary beauty. Quinn Tivey is an artist based in New York.
