Artists Space has been pleased to participate in 2020Solidarity, a project generously organized by artist Wolfgang Tillmans and his foundation, Between Bridges, to help cultural and music venues, community projects, independent spaces and publications that are existentially threatened by the current crisis posed by COVID-19.
Tillmans commissioned international artists to design a series of posters, only available for a limited time, which were offered as a reward for donations to Artists Space. The posters are unlimited editions available for a donation of $50 each. Posters are each 23.4 x 16.5 inches. Shipping will be calculated for supporters after postal services have resumed normal operations or pick-up can be arranged after reopening.
