Sandra Cinto's installation at the Phillips Collection has a title that is ambiguously poetic enough to mean nothing: One Day, After the Rain. In the case of her multipart ink and acrylic mural on the walls of the Phillips's Vradenburg Cafe, the title adds a lovely and natural simplicity to the piece which crawls across the walls showing the evolution of a storm. more ›

We spotted this new Shepard Fairey mural on 14th Street NW between U and V Streets last night, on the side wall of popular restaurant/bar Marvin.

This mural is actually a made of many posters pasted up on the wall. Word on the street is that this mural went up Wednesday night, and that there may be many more around town. Has anyone spotted any other new Fairey works? more ›
