You can view all 44 (and buy a bumper sticker!) at his website They are tiny but mighty!
The Contemporary Wing has a popup gallery with some amazing artists through November 23. Shepard Fairey, Elizabeth Catlett, and the Guerrilla Girls are among those featured. An interesting documentary by Ralf Schmerberg plays in a side room. He asked different people the same set of questions and got fascinating responses.
At Civilian Art Projects, Judy Jashinsky has 13 Days and Nights: the Cuban Missile Crisis. The exhibit includes portraits of figures from the time with their thoughts, the moon phases for each night, and other works. It's hard to realize what it was like fifty years ago.
