What
Sebastian
and
his
team
at
Positive
Propaganda
/
AMUSEUM
of
Contemporary
Art
have
created,
turning
an
old
bookshop,
into
a
new
museum
capable
of
housing
100
pieces
of
art
from
one
of
the
World’s
best
artists
is
frankly
incredible!
You
might
get
to
see
Shepard
Fairey
prints,
or
editions
in
other
museums
or
galleries
around
Europe
-
but
when
you
see
original
pieces,
it
is
a
completely
different
experience.
Shepard
has
built
layer-upon-layer
into
the
pieces,
often
based
on
extracts
from
old
newspapers.
You
get
much
more
of
the
context
of
the
issue
he
is
trying
to
provoke
you
to
think
about.
I
absolutely
recommend
a
visit
to
AMUSEUM
in
Munich.
Not
only
will
you
get
to
see
an
amazing
collection
from
one
of
the
great
artists,
but
the
welcome
from
the
team
was
so
genuinely
warm
&
friendly.
The
exhibit
runs
until
April
2023,
but
why
wait!
As
for
the
man
himself,
Mr
Shepard
Fairey…
getting
to
meet
him
was
a
real
privilege.
He
must
have
spent
over
4
hours
talking
to
the
hundreds
who
came
to
the
opening,
and
I
never
once
had
the
impression
he
was
going
through
the
motions.
He
answered
so
many
questions
sincerely,
with
a
level
of
depth
and
honesty,
it
gave
a
real
insight
into
what
he
is
trying
to
achieve,
and
the
artistic
methods
he
uses
to
engage,
“seduce”
and
stimulate
the
viewer.
And,
if
you
need
even
more
Shepard,
there
are
a
couple
of
fantastic,
relatively
new
murals
around
Munich,
such
as
the
140-metre
mural
on
the
Mittlerer
Ring
(in
Sending),
and
‘Paint
It
Black’
at
Landshutter
Allee
54.
Both
collaborations
between
Shepard
and
Positive
Propaganda.
And,
sure
Munich
itself
isn’t
a
bad
old
spot
for
a
visit
too!
