Who are we?
We’re Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese. We collaborate together as Ligorano Reese. We are based in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and have been making art together for over 3 decades. We make woven fiber optic tapestries, installations, ice sculptures and limited editions.
We started pureproductsusa in 1992. The first pureproducts were about the marketing of politics. Our Contract with America underwear caused a sensational stir in the media. So much so that the Republican National Committee threatened us with copyright infringement.
The John Ashcroft snow globe was our first snow globe. Governor Chris Christie liked it so much that he gave one as a gift to Attorney General John Ashcroft.
The Justice Department wanted to hire us to do Ashcroft’s portrait but demurred when they found out it was a satire. We lost that job but went on to do his portrait as a mug shot which became Line Up. When the New York Public Library showed it, it caused a scandal.
George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection inspired us to do our most famous snow globe. The Fuck snow globe. And the rest is history
