FLORENCE, ITALY FEBRUARY 2015

Road SignsClet Abraham

Clet Abraham is a French Artist and has lived in Italy longer than 20 years now. Since the summer of 2010 Abraham has been changing the road signs in Florence, going out secretively at night and adding stickers to the signs.

The stickers are easily removable, so unlike the timeless Renaissance art in Florence, Abraham’s art is of shorter duration.
