"A monograph dedicated to artist billboards shown across America in the past few years—some of them bearing political and topical messages—is timely. The organization behind the billboards, For Freedoms, was founded in 2016 by a group of artists including Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman. A new publication includes 550 artist billboards created between 2016 and 2023, by the likes of the Guerrilla Girls, Lorraine O’Grady, Ai Weiwei and Emily Hanako Momohara." - Gareth Harris
