  • 2 August, 2008. New York, NY. Angel Ortiz (right), 41, a graffiti artist who collaborated with Keith Haring in the 80's, is here in front of the mural he tagged on July 22nd 2008. Next to him, on the left, is Clayton Patterson, born in 1948, who helped Angel Ortiz with the graffiti. Angel Ortiz tagged his nickname "LA2", which refers to "Little Angel", on the Keith Haring mural that was reproduced on May 4th 2008, after the original 1982 graffiti was painted over. Angel Ortiz asked Clayton Patterson, an artist and gallerist, to help him tag the wall with his own artwork. Mr. Ortiz has accused the Haring Foundation of denying him credit on many of the jointly produced works.  The two artists met in 1980, when Angel Ortiz was 13 years old. Subsequently, Ortiz and Haring collaborated for several years and had joint shows. <br />

  • PRATO, ITALY - 27 NOVEMBER 2019: A graffiti saying "Here are the slaves" is seen here by the Chinese clothing retailers in the textile industrial area of Prato, Italy, on November 27th 2019.<br />
<br />
Italy has proved especially vulnerable to China’s emergence as a manufacturing juggernaut, given that many of its artisanal trades -- textiles, leather, shoe-making -- have long been dominated by small, family-run businesses that lacked the scale to compete on price with factories in a nation of 1.4 billion people. <br />
In recent years, four Italian regions that were as late as the 1980s electing Communists and then reliably supported center-left candidates -- Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Emilia-Romagna  -- have swung dramatically to the extreme right. Many working class people say that delineation has it backwards: The left abandoned them, not the other way around. <br />
<br />
Between 2001 and 2011, Prato’s 6,000 textile companies shrunk to 3,000, and those employed by the plants plunged from 40,000 to 19,000, according to Confindustria, the leading Italian industrial trade association. As Prato’s factories went dark, people began arriving from China - mostly from the coastal city of Wenzhou, famed for its industriousness - to exploit an opportunity.<br />
They set up sewing machines across the concrete floors and imported fabric from factories in China. They sewed clothes, cannily imitating the styles of Italian fashion brands. They affixed a valuable label to their creations: “Made In Italy”.
