Untitled (Stars Don't Stand Still in the Sky for Anybody pin)

Working on an uncharacteristically small scale, Weiner designed this pin for the Peter Norton family’s annual limited edition Christmas gift. A pioneer of Conceptual Art in the late 1960s, Weiner is known for his installations of simple but philosophically rich phrases. Often incorporating puns and double entendres, his works are stenciled or applied in bold, block letters onto walls, floors, or other architectural surfaces. He considered the words themselves to be the work of art and, when installed, referred to the text-based installations as “sculpture.”
