50 Years of Helvetica from the Candy Collective

For the 50th anniversary of the Helvetica font, Irish multimedia group the Candy Collective and British website Blanka curated 50 print designs, each of them available for 50 pounds. Each limited-edition print represents one of the last 50 years, like Antoine+Manuel's 1963, I Have A Dream.

 
 

Here's the skinny from their website:

50 image makers.
50 original works.
50 x 50 cm. (That's about 20 x 20 inches.)
Each an edition of 50.
Epson archival Giclee prints.

Is it me, or does some of the work on the site have absolutely nothing to do with Helvetica?

Antoine et Manuel's has Helvetica throughout, but the main quote is not Helvetica.
