Screenprint in colours on Coventry Rag paper // Glenn Ligon's America (2015) is a limited edition screen-print on Coventry Rag paper, measuring 24.5 x 32 inches. The artwork features the word AMERICA prominently displayed in bold, capital letters, set against a distressed, textured black background. The print’s surface shows intentional wear and fragmentation, evoking a sense of decay and highlighting themes of identity, race, and history within the American context. The rough texture and the broken appearance of the text create a powerful visual statement, aligning with Ligon's exploration of language and its impact on cultural and social narratives. This work invites viewers to reflect on the complexity and duality of the American experience.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
