Margo is an unparalleled example of how an artist became an activist. In 1991 she adopted the red ribbon concept from Visual AIDS and turned it into a simple piece of enameled jewelry for the AmFAR which went on to become an iconic global phenomenon. Created to increase public awareness and demystify the disease, sales of this pin earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for AIDS research and helped to find the cure we have today.
