Trump Legacy Tombstone

On Easter Sunday in March of 2016, Brooklyn based performance artist Brian Andrew Whitely placed a tombstone he had made for presidential candidate Donald Trump in the Sheep's Meadow section of New York's Central Park. It was quickly confiscated by the police and put into an evidence locker in Queens but not before going viral on the internet by those who saw it Easter morning. The artist was eventually tracked down by the police, FBI and Secret Service and questioned but not arrested. The tombstone was finally released to Whiteley and has been exhibited at several locations ever since.

Master Printer and Publisher James Stroud approached Whiteley to create an edition of prints from the stone with the time honored technique of gravestone rubbing using pigmented wax and Japanese paper. There will be an edition of 100 prints made from the stone, available only from Center Street Studio. Each print measures 31 x 24 inches and is signed and numbered by the artist.
