FREAK SHOW celebrates the art of the sideshow with a wonderful collection of over 50 authentic banners. Sword Swallower! Priscilla, The Monkey Girl! Woman Changing To Stone!
Each banner promised incredible feats or extraordinary deformities, each more outrageous than the last. It didn't seem to matter whether these acts were real or orchestrated, just as long as they drew in crowds. Hammer & Bosker provide a delightful overview of these banners as a genre in American art, highlighting the most memorable, their artists, and the unusual men, women, and children featured in them, making FREAK SHOW as fascinating as it is entertaining.
