Additional Information: Lot is comprised of three posters created by the artists of Collaborative Projects Inc. (COLAB), titled "Fiesta De Santa Ana," "Freedom School" and "Nicaraguans Are Dying." COLAB was a group of artists active in the late 1970s and 1980s in downtown New York. The collective focused on social issues, creative engagement with the community and broadening art audiences, and do-it-yourself actions such as mounting their own shows and pop up stores and producing colorful street posters related to the politics of the day. Many of the artists who were part of this group later achieved individual fame. {source: gallery.98bowery.com, "Talk is Cheap: A Street Poster Exhibition, 1984."} Provenance: Brooke Alexander Gallery, New York, New York.
