COLLECTING COLAB: 

EPHEMERA, PHOTOGRAPHY, & MULTIPLES, 1978 - 1985

In the early 1980s, COLAB sponsored a series of pop-up A More Stores, retail outlets timed for the holiday gift-giving season, featuring low-priced works by artists.  The populist ambitions of these COLAB stores is revealed by this adorable “Kitty” print (1982) by Walter Robinson, optimistically run as a signed edition of 900. 

“Collecting COLAB” is an online exhibition about COLAB, an influential artist group that helped alter the definition of serious art and its audience in the 1980s.
