CAMILLE BILLOPS (1933 - 2019)
KKK Boutique II.

Etching and aquatint on cream wove paper, 1996. 299x251 mm; 11¾x9⅞ inches, full margins. From the second edition of 20. Signed, titled, dated, inscribed "2nd Ed." and numbered 8/20 in pencil, lower margin. Printed and published by the Brandywine Workshop, Philadelphia.

The title and subject of this print relate to the satirical film The KKK Boutique Ain't Just Rednecks, made by Billops and her husband, James Hatch, in the same year. The film addresses the origins, stereotypes, violent histories, and agendas of racism - pressing viewers to confront their own potential for and participation in prejudice toward people who are different from themselves. Other impressions are in the collections of Emory University and the Library of Congress.
