Description: Up for bid is a beautiful limited edition lithograph print by the acclaimed American artist LARRY RIVERS. It is entitled FOR THE CHINESE NEW YEAR & FOR BILL BERKSON, and was produced as a posthumous collaboration with the poet, critic and curator Frank O'Hara in 1967. Please read below for more information about this collaboration. It is printed on a woven Mohawk Superfine Smooth paper in an edition of 2500, and comes from copy 1755 (as notated on the colophon page). It is in excellent vintage condition with a light corner to the upper right corner on all 3 sheets as shown. The sheet size measures 12"x18", with a center vertical fold as issued and signed in the plate by the artist. Please see my other auctions for more examples of these collectible prints from IN MEMORY OF MY FEELINGS. Note... the buyer is purchasing the illustrated poem only. I am not selling the colophon page. It should also be noted that several of these poems by O'Hara were printed on multiple leaves, and also include multiple illustrations by the particular visual artist. These multiple leaf poems are priced accordingly. This auction is for the complete poem printed on 3 sheets. In 1967, a year after the untimely death of the poet, critic, and curator Frank O'Hara, The Museum of Modern Art published a seminal collection of illustrated poems to celebrate the life and work of O'Hara entitled IN MEMORY OF MY FEELINGS. Under the direction of the editor (poet Bill Berkson), art director (painter Robert Motherwell) and poetry selection consultants (poets John Ashbery and Kenneth Koch)... 30 different visual artists who had been closely tied to the life and work of O'Hara were invited to collaborate on the project. Each artist was assigned a different O'Hara poem and asked to produce original acetate artwork as a response to their particular poem. The results of the collaboration were then printed as a beautiful limited edition slipcase of unbound lithographs. The artists included in the publication were Nell Blaine, Norman Bluhm, Joe Brainard, John Button, Giorgio Cavallon, Allan D'Arcangelo, Elaine de Kooning, Willem de Kooning, Niki de Saint Phalle, Helen Frankenthaler, Jane Freilicher, Michael Goldberg, Philip Guston, Grace Hartigan, Al Held, Jasper Johns, Matsumi Kanemitsu, Alex Katz, Lee Krasner, Alfred Leslie, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, Reuben Nakian, Barnett Newman, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers and Jane Wilson.
