Since the Occupy demonstrations began in downtown Chicago, street-art stickers have been prolific in the Loop, appearing on any flat surface possible. STUCK UP, at Maxwell Colette Gallery, tells a larger and longer story of street art and the sticker with work that goes back four decades, culled from curator DB Burkeman's own sticker collection. The heavyweights of the street-art movement are included (Shepard Fairey, Space Invader, Banksy); as are the heavyweights of the Pop Art movement (Andy Warhol, Keith Haring); along with the unknown street artists, whose "anonymous stickers [have been] peeled from the streets of NYC."
