Description

This coming Tuesday, April 8th, the Ai Weiwei, Cost of Expression, print created by Shepard Fairey will be for sale on our website. The Cost of Expression print will be available as a limited edition of 375. Check back Tuesday between 1 and 2pm!. “I admire Ai Weiwei for his art and his activism. His art is beautiful in form, and in function embodies the principles of populism and social consciousness I aspire to in my own practice. This poster is a tribute to Ai Weiwei’s art, his courage to be outspoken, and in support of his ongoing political struggle with the Chinese government. I hope the image will help raise awareness and advance dialogue that might lead to permission for Ai Weiwei to travel freely and continue to express himself.” – Shepard. Shepard is donating 100 prints to support the Brooklyn Museum, which will present an Ai Weiwei retrospective exhibition, “Ai Weiwei: According to What?” from April 18 through August 10, 2014. Thanks to Pace Prints for their support. Cost of Expression. Screen Print. 18 x 24. Edition of 375. 2014. $60.
