Materials presented drawn largely from the Jean-Noël Herli Archive. "Exhibition invitations? I've seen a few. Any working art critic inevitably acquires an extensive knowledge of this genre of printed ephemera. Heralding gallery and museum shows, invitations flood the mailbox, crowd the desk and all too often accumulate so intractably on the kitchen counter as to seem part of the decor. You can't live with them, and until the show is over, you can't throw them out. Still, life without such art-world byproducts would be a lot more difficult. Not only do they convey the important facts -- the who, when and where -- of shows that need to be seen. They're also advertisements bent on seducing us into attendance by being clever, eye-catching or provocative -- although sometimes they nip interest in the bud. (There's probably no art lover with mailing-list credentials who hasn't held up some gallery announcement and said, "Forget it!") Invitations are style statements in a minor key, ancillary artworks of a collective sort. Designed by artists, by graphic designers, by art dealers and museum curators -- usually a combination of the above -- they are the advance guard for the real thing. Their merit is judged in the very act of reading one's mail." -- Roberta Smith, "Art Invitations As Small Scraps Of History," New York Times, May 16, 1993. Very Good. Light edge wear.

Seller: Raptis Rare Books, Palm Beach, FL, U.S.A.
First Edition Signed
First edition of this exhibition flyer for the 1959 Tibor de Nagy exhibition of works by Larry Rivers and Grace Hartigan inspired by O'Hara's poetry. Octavo, original wrappers as issued, illustrated with twelve black and white lithographs. Association copy, inscribed by Larry Rivers on the verso of the front cover to fellow member of the informal New York School of artists Willem de Kooning, "For Bill de Kooning much admiration Larry Rivers." Musician, artist and filmmaker Larry Rivers took up painting in 1945 and lived in the the Hotel Chelsea, notable for its artistic residents such as Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Arthur C. Clarke, Dylan Thomas, Sid Vicious and multiple people associated with Andy Warhol's Factory. A part of the New York School of the 1950s (of which Frank O'Harra was the crux due to his position at the MOMA), Rivers' paintings drew inspiration from the contemporary avant-garde movement, in particular abstract expressionism. De Kooning too was a part of the New York School, his well-known The Woman Series notable for its powerful expression of the frustrations and desires of the post-World War II era. In near fine condition. An intimate association copy, linking these great artists of the 20th century. The New York School was an informal group of American artists, musicians and poets active in New York City throughout the 50s and 60s. At the heart of the group was poet Frank O'Harra, due to his post as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art where he created connections between poets and painters including Larry Rivers, John Ashberry, and Fairfield Porter. The group participated in many joint collaborations including several publications, exhibitions, and works of art. While the poets of the group often wrote in an immediate and spontaneous manner reminiscent of stream of consciousness writing, the painters represented the New York abstract expressionists. The Abstract Expressionism movement in American painting was the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris.
