Black Legend presents a delicate yet conceptually charged object: a handcrafted construction of isomalt sugar, food dye, epoxy resin, transparency film, and a single freshwater pearl, assembled within a compact relief measuring roughly 23 by 20 centimeters. The materials carry their own cultural and bodily weight, sugar evoking histories of colonial labor and commodity extraction, while the pearl introduces a note of organic rarity and ornamentation. Together they form a surface that reads simultaneously as confection, specimen, and artifact, inviting the collector to consider how sweetness and beauty become entangled with suppressed or distorted histories. Sula Bermúdez-Silverman works at the intersection of material culture, colonial historiography, and personal mythology, and Black Legend takes its title from the centuries-old propaganda campaign used to discredit Spanish imperial history, a term that itself became a tool of competing imperial narratives. The work channels that layered ambiguity into physical form, using humble and perishable-seeming materials stabilized through resin into something that persists. The transparency film introduces an element of transmission and overlay, suggesting how histories are read through successive, distorting layers rather than encountered directly. Signed by the artist and produced in 2021, this piece is offered through the Broadway Housing Communities Benefit Auction, connecting its acquisition to a broader social purpose. The work ships from London, with shipping costs and applicable fees the responsibility of the buyer, and is presented unframed, allowing the collector flexibility in how the piece is displayed and contextualized within a collection.
