Chris Ofili Releases Limited Edition Print for Stephen Lawrence Anniversary

publication · 2026-04-20

Chris Ofili has created a limited edition print titled 'R.I.P. Stephen Lawrence 1974-1993' to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Stephen Lawrence's murder. The print references Ofili's 1998 painting 'No Woman, No Cry,' which was originally made as a tribute to the South London teenager. Published in collaboration with Counter Editions, the print is priced at £600. All profits from sales will be donated to the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust. The original painting, 'No Woman, No Cry,' was created in 1998 as a memorial to Stephen Lawrence. Stephen Lawrence was a South London teenager whose murder in 1993 became a landmark case in British history, highlighting issues of institutional racism and leading to significant legal and social reforms. The print serves as both an artistic tribute and a fundraising initiative for the trust established in Lawrence's memory. The collaboration with Counter Editions ensures the print's distribution as a limited edition artwork.
