Keith Edmier’s Beverly Edmier, 1967 is a life size plastic reproduction of Edmier’s own mother. The translucency of the plastic reveals the foetus - Edmier - within her stomach. She wears a facsimile of the now iconic pink Chanel suit Jacky Kennedy wore on the day of her husband’s death. Like much of Edmier’s work, this piece references not only his personal history but wider global events.  Click through on the image for a link to Edmier’s page on the Friedrich Petzel gallery.
