A '70s take on late '60s LA: farce and ridiculousness enacted in tiny dresses, ruffled shirts and big hair. Set in 1968, Shampoo presents the side of sixties fashion that made it to expensive Beverly Hills boutiques and hair salons. Gorgeous women in long bangs, miniskirts, and frosted makeup circle around George, the good-looking hairdresser whose uniform is as calculated and elaborate as theirs: shag haircut, heavy jewelry, unbuttoned shirt, leather jacket. At the end, when the plot drops this polished group into a wild LA party they look, well, overdressed.
Selected by Chiyo Ishikawa of Seattle Art Museum
Chiyo Ishikawa helped bring revelatory exhibits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston before moving to Seattle in 1990 to take an assistant curator position with the Seattle Art Museum. Now SAM's deputy director for art and curator of European painting and sculpture, Chiyo played a key role in bringing the Picasso show to town in 2010 and directly imprints the museum's calendar with her scholarship of international art history. Her 2004 book, The Retablo of Isabel la Catolica by Juan de Flandes and Michael Sittow was awarded the Eleanor Tufts Award from the American Society of Hispanic Art Historical Studies and was given the acknowledgement of The Order of Isabel la Católica by His Majesty King Juan Carlos of Spain.
