ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The plastic pink flamingo was first designed in 1957 by sculptor Don Featherstone for the plastics company Union Products. They became a sameness trend post-World War II that soon changed; the flamingo became an emblem of tackiness. In the 1960s, it made a comeback when Pop artists including Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg began elevating the low brow and embracing mass cultures. It was then that the flamingo rose like a phoenix from the ashes. By the mid 1980s, the flamingos were transitioning from a working class accessory to an elaborate upper-class inside joke. Today the plastic flamingo has reemerged once more as an inflatable toy embraced via social media and pop celebrities in their extravagant swimming pools.
