News about CAC Rise Above

Shepard Fairey has created a ‘fine art’ version of the sold-out print he made for the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC Rise Above). Part of a select body of new work, Fairey created this piece for May Day, the highly anticipated and much hyped finale show for Deitch Projects in New York. Longtime contemporary art dealer Jeffrey Deitch chose Fairey to be his gallery’s closing show. Deitch is shuttering his fabled gallery to assume his new role as Director of LA MoCA (Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles) in June 2010.
