When Crawford finally made it to the store to take in the scene for himself, he says the shelves were “pretty picked over,” but he quickly spotted items from the PAG’s fundraiser stock, now priced as low as $9.99. “I basically filled up people’s shopping carts with art,” he says, giving thrift shoppers extra context about the artists and the work.
