Screenshot of a post from the Whitechapel Gallery.

I'll Go On' by Alfredo Jaar, is a neon work, created at a unique size for Whitechapel Gallery. It pairs a line from Samuel Beckett with the visual language of public signage. Characteristic of Jaar's practice, it reflects on resilience, despair, and perseverance in the tace of social and political injustice. 'I Can't Go On. I'll Go On' (Lot 23) is included in Phillips' Modern & Contemporary Art: Online Auction, London, within the dedicated section "The World in Whitechapel"”
