Whether in a court room or a dressing room, wigs come in many forms
and represent many things: from power, to sexuality, to parody, to
health, to self-identity, to disguise. Wigs are present at parties
and in chemotherapy rooms, in pop music and contemporary art. In
this witty and eloquent book, Luigi Amara reflects on the curious
history of the wig and along the way takes a sideways look at
Western civilization. Amara illuminates how the wig has starred
throughout history, from ancient Egypt to the court of Louis XIV,
and from British courtrooms to drag shows today. Containing many
striking and unusual images, The Wig will appeal to all those
interested in the history of fashion--as well as philosophy, art,
culture, and aesthetics.
