Item details

‘Bob and Roberta Smith (pseudonym of Patrick Brill)  see art as an important element in democratic life. Much of their art takes the form of painted signs. Central to Bob and Roberta Smith’s thinking is the idea that campaigns are extended art works which include a variety of consciousness raising artefacts.’ Statement from  Bob & Roberta Smith web site
