Blood, Sweat, and Tears
June 13, 1997 ~ August 9, 1997
An unusual ensemble of three separate exhibitions that look at the graphics of protest locally and internationally.
Presented at Track 16 Gallery as part of the L.A. International.

"I view this series of exhibitions as an educational opportunity—for myself and for our community," says Tom Patchett, owner of Track 16 Gallery.
"By bringing local, international and historical posters and banners together, it is my hope that these art works illuminate and advance the universal aspiration for peace and justice."

Blood, Sweat & Tears is accompanied by three fully illustrated catalogues with an introduction by Track 16's Tom Patchett and essays by Cary Nelson, Carol Wells, and Trisha Ziff.
