Giants, Kikito and the Border Patrol, Tecate, Mexico – USA, 2017

2017

A striking large-format lithograph by the French street artist JR, depicting his iconic 2017 installation at the US-Mexico border in Tecate, where a monumental black-and-white wheat-paste portrait of a toddler named Kikito peers over the border fence as two US Border Patrol agents look on. The image captures the powerful juxtaposition of childhood innocence against geopolitical barriers, rendered with JR's signature documentary-meets-street-art aesthetic. This edition print (105/180) was published by Social Animals, Paris, and is signed, numbered, and dated in pencil along the lower edge.
