Sensácional!

Mexican Street Graphics Past

September 24–December 1, 2007

This exhibition celebrates the fast-disappearing work of sign painters and lithographic tradespeople who work off the high-art grid and employ the vernacular design of comic books, flyers, posters, and signs common in Mexico, where a rough idiosyncratic beauty arose from a mom-and-pop street economy.

Location
Stephen D. Paine Gallery
Free and open to the public. Always.
