With the realization that five states will most likely decide the election (Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), the organization States of Change have released a series of fundraising prints, each selling for $150 US. The proceeds (minus $15.50 to cover production costs) will support forty-two different local groups fighting voter suppression in these battleground states.
The sale ends tomorrow at 11:59 pm PST.
Participating artists include Alfredo Jaar, Catherine Opie, Cindy Sherman, Ed Ruscha, Danny Lyon, Sara Cwynar, Robert Frank, Sally Mann, Hank Willis Thomas (above), Sharon Lockhart, James Welling, Hannah Price, Jack Pierson, Nan Goldin, Jason Fulford, and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth (who recently told Pitchfork "We can’t do anything progressively until we get rid of Trump. Then we can work on Biden.").
The works are sold as unlimited editions, unsigned and unnumbered, with the following conditions:
(1) You must not display the artwork in a museum, gallery, exhibition, or otherwise public nature, without the express written consent of the artist.
(2) You must not resell the artwork without the express consent of the artist.
(3) You are a human making an individual purchase, and not a bot designed to make rapid purchases.
(4) You agree to not make any further copies of the image after its purchase.
(5) All sales are final. Because all net proceeds are being donated to Movement Voter Project, refunds will not be possible.
