America Shut Up on Sale

While James Cauty is best-known as one half of electronic rock band The KLF, and as co-founder of The Orb, his art has been causing controversy since way back in 1994 when he burnt 1 million pounds in cash.

Over the years, Cauty’s undeniable political art has taken on the threat of chemical warfare, the US invasion of the Middle East and the world’s history of rioting.

America Shut Up is an extension of Cauty’s Stamps of Mass Destruction collection, in which he depicted the Queen on postage stamps wearing a gas mask. Here we see George W. Bush issuing a rousing cry, alongside a plea for the US to pipe down.
