Globally-celebrated artist JR<\/a> returns with a new limited edition print titled Unframed, I am a Man, Washington DC, USA, 2012<\/em>. The artwork honors the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s last march during the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike<\/a> before his assassination. The visual itself features JR’s wheatpaste artwork back in October 2012, inspired by the iconic photograph captured by late civil-rights photographer, Ernest Withers.<\/p>\n

The lithograph print is a signed and numbered edition of 180, measuring approximately 36 by 47 centimeters with 11 colors printed using a Marinoni machine. View the print above and purchase it now on Social Animals’ official website<\/a> for about $1,045 USD each. The artist recently sat down for an interview with Great Big Story<\/em> to discuss the process behind his celebrated \u201cInside Out<\/a>\u201d project.<\/p>\n
