KIM GORDON is widely recognized for her cultural contributions as founding band member of Sonic Youth, as well as her paintings which often explore the power of text. Her protest poster comes from a series of protest paintings, in gold, a reference to sitting president Donald Trump, and the idea of protest art as it becomes a decorative object. The line, You Don’t Own Me, refers to WOMEN’S RIGHTS and the mounting protest against the wave to reverse Roe vs Wade, but it is also about art collecting.
