There are many ways to learn about the art world, but what's more fun than learning with William Wegman's Letters? In our opinion...nothing. What follows is our very subjective art world A to Z, each accompanied by a letter from this amazing collection.
We always love working with Bill, and this special release of 26 editions was no different. These editions look incredible no matter how ya hang 'em: one big statement letter adorning the wall, a three-piece monogram with a mix of sizes, spelling out a favorite word, or, like today, using them as an educational tool with art world cred.
Because we love them oh-so-much AND because we're so excited to launch framing(!) for them, we're giving you a special discount: get 20% OFF framing for these (literal) puppies with the code LETTERS!
Time to learn your ABCs, y'all...
With art for everyone,
