About this work

This image shows six old travel labels stuck together. One has a blimp with swastikas. Another shows a ship called *Hiroshima* with a red sun. A third looks like a motel sign with a mountain and a red circle. The others are for ships like the *Titanic* and *Lusitania*. The colors are bright but faded—greens, reds, blues. The labels were made in the 1960s by an artist who turned them into art. They look like old posters but are arranged in a grid. Check out Nancy Reitkopf—she turned everyday objects into art this way.
