Add to basketThis Greek-born American artist was the youngest of that fabled group of abstract expressionist painters that included Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, active in New York in the 1940s and '50s. Signed First Day Cover, 6½" X 3½", cancelled in Boston, Massachusetts on 27 October 1976 and with "First Day of Issue" boldly stamped. Single 13-cent "Winter Pastime" Christmas stamp at upper right. Simple blue and gold "First Day Cover" printed cachet at left. No distracting recipient's name/address. Just right of center, Stamos signs boldly in black ballpoint -- unfortunately his pen skips on the first name (only), which he partly overwrites. A most uncommon signature. (This stamp NOT designed by Stamos, by the way, but by Stevan Dohanos.).
