Wonder Woman Con Rolos
This piece is part of Tony’s series entitled ROLOS & ICONS, which features a range of notable Latinas wearing hair rollers. It’s a thoughtful, clever and humorous twist on Warhol’s iconic silkscreen portraits; Tony uses the technique to celebrate a broad and diverse spectrum of Latino women and to elevate an everyday act—getting your hair done at the salon—to high art. This work depicts Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, whose mother’s family was from Mexico, a fact perhaps not widely known and one that gives us a new perspective on this American comic book superhero.
