"Artists do not compromise" is a screenprint by Haim Steinbach rendered in stark black ink on thin card, reflecting his longstanding interest in the language of branding, consumer culture, and the declarative power of text as object. The work presents a bold, aphoristic statement that functions simultaneously as manifesto, provocation, and readymade slogan, inviting viewers to question the boundaries between artistic integrity and commercial exchange. Characteristic of Steinbach's practice, the piece treats the printed surface itself as a kind of display, where the medium and the message are inseparable.
