Now that the 100 copies of London, New York, and Paris have sold out, artist Thomas Yang released the last in his limited series of tire prints. This final one titled The Unforbidden Cyclist is a shout out to a recent revival of the bicycle as a cool mode of transport again in urban China. His interpretation of Beijing’s Forbidden City uses 11 unique tire treads to recreate the iconic buildings and mass of people, including the tire of China’s classic Flying Pigeon bicycle, dubbed the single most popular mechanized vehicle on the planet.
I do love these prints, and had to share this since it appears to be the last in the tire print series. Roll past the break for an overall pic, price, and availability…
The prints are going fast, but there are still more than a third of the run left. As usual there’ll only be a total of 100 numbered prints. So jump on this last chance for one of these cool $90 signed and numbered tire prints before they are gone for good.
