A scarce poster; no auction records in the past 25 years located. Our present example of this poster is rare. The first exhibition by this name was held at The American Gallery, New York (The Computer Applications Incorporated Collection), April 1 to 30, 1968 (unrecorded by Czwiklitzer). It subsequently travelled to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (The Computer Applications Incorporated Collection) from January 28 to February 28, 1969 (Czwiklitzer 276(a), 1970 ed.). It then traveled to the Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore (The Computer Applications Incorporated Collection), May 6 to June 29, 1969 (unrecorded by Czwiklitzer). Its final stop appears to have been to The New York Cultural Center, New York (The Computer Applications Incorporated Collection), June 24 to September 20, 1970 (unrecorded by Czwiklitzer). All posters had the same Picasso linocut image, and all were printed by Triton Press, New York. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [26957-5-1200] |
