From Three Star Books:

"Three Star Books invited artist AA Bronson (b. 1946), the last living member of the Canadian conceptual art collective General Idea to take another look at the wallpaper version of one of their iconic pieces: “AIDS”.

“AIDS” was created following pop artist Robert Indiana’s “LOVE”, a screen print and a sculpture from 1967 in which the letters L.O.V.E. were replaced with the ones of A.I.D.S., appropriating and reintroducing it back into an art context. General Idea has been using techniques of appropriation since 1969, the year they began together, long before the term entered the art world."
