The Banners are a limited edition of one hundred signed and dated 1976 by the artists.
The Bicentennial Banners traveled around the world with the United States Information Agency to major critical acclaim. They were also exhibited at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. throughout the Bicentennial year and toured the country with the Smithsonian Institute. The Bicentennial Banners are now available for purchase. Museums, corporate lobbies, public spaces such as airports and malls would be greatly enhanced by these colorful banners.

They come in two sizes, 45" x 63" and museum size 5' x 7'. |
