Fuck Helms, from Harvey Gantt

Created in 1990 in support of Harvey Gantt's Senate campaign against Jesse Helms, Richard Serra's *Fuck Helms* is a bold and politically charged screenprint with embossing on Arches Cover paper. True to Serra's monumental aesthetic, the work uses stark, raw typography as its primary visual force, transforming text into a sculptural and confrontational statement. The piece stands as a rare example of Serra's direct engagement with political activism through the print medium.

Medium
Screenprint and embossing, on Arches Cover paper, with full margins.
