About This Item
n.p.: n.p., 2014. Very good.. A subtle and astute work of art by The Reader, hinting to the aesthetic of certain Jim Crow era signs while using the found object sign marked "No Trespassing." From the prolific American graffiti writer known, among other psuedonyms, as Read, The Reader, Read More, Read More Books, Boans, etc., this boastful (but accurate) statement done in flat black spray paint on the verso of a fiberglass "No Trespassing" sign, liberated by the artist from an abandoned building, no doubt during his illicit activities. 12.5'' x 18.5''. Mixed media assemblage. Spray paint on fiberglass in welded steel frame.
