This morning, I posted about a sweet customized bike made for Lance Armstrong by pop artist KAWS for the "Stages" traveling art exhibition. What I didn't realize at the time was all of the other awesome art that's comprised in the exhibit.
"Stages" is a touring art exhibition that benefits LIVESTRONG. At Nike’s Montalbán Theater, the exhibition was unveiled in a conference headed up by Lance Armstrong. The artwork included in the collection comes from over 21 incredibly diverse artists. Many are heavy hitters in the art world, including Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Shepard Fairey, Dzine, JR, KAWS, Barry McGee, and Yoshitomo Nara.
