Klansman (Imperial Wizard)
1990
A striking large-scale chromogenic print by Andres Serrano depicts a robed and hooded figure of a Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard, rendered in vivid, saturated color against a stark background. The face-mounting to Plexiglas lends the image a luminous, almost painterly quality, creating an unsettling tension between aesthetic beauty and deeply disturbing subject matter. Serrano's unflinching portrayal confronts the viewer with the visual iconography of white supremacy, challenging assumptions about representation, complicity, and the role of photography in documenting American extremism.
