Nuclear
War?! ... There Goes My Career!
Mark Vallen 1980. Silkscreen print
15" x 16" inches - SOLD OUT
Artist's
statement:
"In
1980 I created this silkscreen street poster which
also ran as a front cover for the LA WEEKLY
newspaper. It was a time when people were seriously
wondering if nuclear war would break out between the
Soviet Union and the United States. My artwork struck
a cord with people and proved to be incredibly popular."
Vallen's
poster was included in The Path of Resistance,
an exhibit of contemporary protest art held at New
York City's Museum of Modern Art in 2000. Organized
by Joshua Siegel and Susan Kismaric, the
exhibit traced 40 years of socially critical and politically
charged art.
There
are only a few copies of this rare silkscreen poster
available. Each one is hand-signed and numbered by
the artist. Click
