Lot 225

All written by him in pencil, Kennedy places the date 12-17-1954 directly above the printed words United States Senate. This is four days prior to his release from New York City's Hospital for Special Surgery, where he had undergone a dangerous spinal fusion. Upon release, he was flown to his parents' home in Palm Beach, Florida for several months' recuperation. Kennedy then draws what appears to be thirteen interconnecting rectangles, which are common in his countless doodles. To the left, JFK sketches a triangular design with the unexplained numbers 694 beneath it. Then, to the right, he boldly frames the words Adams - abandoned Federalists in 1808 or 1807. He was referring to Senator John Quincy Adams' 1808 support of President Thomas Jefferson in opposing the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, which resulted in Adams' dislodgement from the Federalist Party. JFK next wrote the first name Ted, being his trusted aide Ted Sorensen, and underlines Sorensen's District of Columbia telephone number JOB-7730. At the very bottom of the page, Kennedy notes Why Webster? and underlines the word Senators. Though Profiles in Courage was JFK's idea and would win him a Pulitzer Prize for biography, decades of denial regarding the full involvement of Ted Sorensen as the book's primary author was staged. What a highly desirable and historic piece this is! It is from the collection of the late Congressman Michael J. Kirwan of Ohio. There is a faint crease at the upper left corner which affects none of Kennedy's handwriting; otherwise the page is in fine condition.

Artist: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese, 1839-1892). Title: "Study for Woodcut #12". Medium: Pen and ink drawing. Date: Composed c1880s. Dimensions: Overall size: 10 3/4 x 7 in. (273 x 178 mm). Image size: 9 5/8 x 6 1/8 in. (244 x 156 mm).Lot Note(s): Translucent Gampi (Washi/Rice/Mulberry) paper affixed at the corners to a semi-opaque, handmade, laid paper. Composed with black and cinnebar inks. Very good condition; the black spots visible on the jpg are on the support sheet, not the drawing, the Gambi paper being translucent. Provenance: Wittenborn Art Books, New York City. Comment(s): Drawings by Yoshitoshi are very scarce. This drawing came from a hand bound album of drawings and sketches, with Yoshitoshi’s name and date inscribed, not in his hand, on the first leaf (please see images). The date is written “the 27th year of Meiji period, Oct. 10th.” The 27th year of the Meiji is the year 1894, two years after the Artist’s death. The album is hand bound and had many blank pages. In addition, the final non-blank pages are colored around the drawings with cinnabar, clearly by the artist. Hence while the album could have been assembled after his death, the more likely probability is that it was bound by the Artist and became a working album, which he continually added to over the years. He is also known as Taiso Yoshitoshi, Yoshitoshi Taiso, and Tsukioka Kinzaburo Yoshitoshi. [25341-2-400]

Lot 1759

Artist: Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997). Title: "Pop Art One [book/portfolio with signed "Explosion" sticker]". Medium: Color offset lithograph. Date: Composed 1965. Lot Note(s): Signed across the sticker in black marker. Edition unknown, presumed small. Fine impression. Very good condition. Overall size of book/portfolio: 7 1/2" x 5 5/8". Comment(s): A scarce item on its own, especially with the unbroken seal, even more so with Lichtenstein’s signature across his “explosion” sticker. This early, charming, and innovative catalogue edited by Dorothy Herzka (later to become Lichtenstein) is one of the earliest documents of the New York Pop Art movement. It presents brief texts, photographic portraits (by Rudy Burkhardt and Hans Namuth, among others), and four or five individual plates each for artists Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol. The design is ingenious: two plastic spiral bindings on the left and right hand sides, bound to a heavy card back panel, hold the Lichtenstein inspired black Benday dot card covers and the first 16 pages of text. The pages are cut vertically at the center so the pages open on the left and right sides and allow the catalog to stand up and showcase (if desired), via the medium of the shutter-like wrappers, any of the loose and unbound 27 plates (complete) in the rear compartment. Opened fully, the grey card folder that holds the individual plates reproducing works by these artists is revealed. The compartment is sealed with the Lichtenstein explosion sticker that is still unopened and uncut. An intriguing and imaginative production from the height of the Pop Art movement. New York: Publishing Institute of American Art, 1965. First Edition. Image copyright © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein. [24522-1-800]

Lot 1816

Artist: Fanny Rabel (Polish/Mexican, 1922-2008). Title: "Niño de la Costa". Medium: Original lithograph. Date: Composed 1958. Dimensions: Overall size: 16 1/8 x 11 1/2 in. (410 x 292 mm). Image size: 16 1/8 x 10 5/8 in. (410 x 270 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in pencil with the initials, lower right. Proof aside from an unknown edition. Cream wove paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition. Provenance: Through Feliciano Peña; Private collection, Patzcuaro, Mexico. Comment(s): Rabel's prints are scarce. Born Fanny Rabinovich, she was a Mexican painter and printmaker, also known as "La Fanny de los Fridos". Her family moved to Mexico City in 1938 to escape the Second World War. Rabel's first exhibition was held at the Liga Popular Israelita in 1941 where Frida Kahlo, her teacher at the time, wrote of her: "Fanny Rabinovich paints as she lives, with great courage, intelligence and sensibility... But what I find most interesting in her painting is the profound roots that link the tradition and strength of her people (Jews). It's not a personal style, but rather socialist. She's worried about class problems and has observed with incredible maturity the character and style of her models, giving them always particularly lively emotions. All of this without pretentiousness and full of femininity and class that make her work so complete." Rabel worked as a muralist with Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros; other famous teachers were Santos Balmori and Francisco Zúñiga. She was a founding member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP) and is considered one of the four "Fridos," along with Arturo Estrada, Arturo Garcia Bustos, and Guillermo Monroy.

Abrams, Inc., 2004. Comment(s): Warhol's lifetime Tiffany Christmas cards are rare, and extremely rare signed. The most recent sale price we found of a card, unsigned and without the envelope, was $3,000 at Christie's New York, December 1st, 2014, lot #62. In 1956, in addition to all the work Warhol was getting drawing shoes and bags, he was commissioned to design Christmas cards for Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Warhol's cards were then published by Tiffany's every Christmas up to 1962, the year he started to exhibit his paintings of soup cans. Our example offered here is from the original first printing in 1960. The cards were subsequently reprinted in a slightly larger size in 1980.

Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). Title: "Andy Warhol and His Plastic Inevitable [2nd printing] [postcard edition]". Medium: Color lithograph. Date: Composed 1993. Dimensions: Overall size: 7 x 5 in. (178 x 127 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown. White wove paper. Full margins. Fine impression. Fine condition. Comment(s): Designed by Wes Wilson. The postcard for the famous event, unlike the poster with the same image, was authorized by Bill Graham and first printed early in 1967 along with the second printing of the poster. The colors of the card match the colors of the first and second printings of the poster. The card was printed by the West Coast Lithograph Co., San Francisco (their imprint verso), who also printed the second printing of the poster. The postcard was subsequently reprinted by Wes Wilson in 1993. Since the poster had a total of three printings, and concert postcards are generally issued before the event, the 1967 printing of the postcard is often erroneously referred to as a second printing, when in fact it was the first. The first printing can be differentiated from the second by the colors ("Andy Warhol and His Plastic Inevitable" is white in the first, pink in the second; orange lettering in the first vs. red/orange in the second); no small letters under the image lower left in the first vs. the addition of "© 1966 Wes Wilson BG 8-3/PS 33" in the second, the change in the small letters lower right from "Wes Wilson 661-5362" in the first to "Wes Wilson '66" in the second, the deletion on the verso of the printer's information on the second printing, the smaller size (8 x 5 on the first, 7 x 5 on the second), and the paper color (pale cream on the first, white on the second). The colors of the second printing of the postcard match the colors of the third printing of the poster. Image copyright © Wes Wilson. [28362-1-100]

Oil on canvas 51 x 40cm , 2021. Jurgita Nakos (born 1979) is a Portrait painter and Figurine Artist. Her field of interest is urban space, with first and foremost in its centre with human being taking the central role. She doesn't look for any special occasions or individuals - the daily scenes and constant human movement catches her eyes. Casual scenes are the most inspiring - a facial expression, a movement of clothing, a set of bright gloves or someone's head resting on the train - it's all about collecting moments in her personal library.J. Nakos collecting mental images and storing them so one day they may take a life of their own. Memory may be based on a real moment, but the shape of it changes based on an interpretation that gives it its own identity.  She does not plan the process of painting, the painting eventually develops on the canvas spontaneously. A work of art originates from the inner self, never to please anyone, but to be a thumbprint of the soul of the artist, the human. Jurgita Nakos: “The diptych Reason & Consequence is about raw emotions, not an expression of wild nature.When one sees the monkeys I would like them to look at themselves. When one doesn't have a choice and the personal freedom is constricted, taken away.How are we more than animals if we can't enjoy culture? What separates us from them? What sets us apart is our ability to appreciate human creativity. Suppression of our freedom of movement causes us hunger for culture in all its shapes and forms, hunger for face to face conversations, hunger for reading answers from human faces to our questions.I painted them because I was starving for things lost. It was an expression of moments when one can't afford to be silent, the scream burning inside, the critical moment when one is guilty without a sin, punished without a court, under a blanket called 'for your own good'…I refuse to show my face. The faceless society is suitable for me. I will take it further... From now on I am the Monkey. No more, no less. Let me see through the eyes of wonder. Let me see through the expression of horror too. If we are not touched by culture, by feeling, by reading from lips - no written language should be used.”.

Artist: Lee Krasner (American, 1908-1984). Title: "Composition". Medium: Conte crayon on paper. Date: Composed c1940. Dimensions: Overall size: 10 x 7 in. (254 x 178 mm). Image size: 9 x 6 1/4 in. (229 x 159 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed lower right. Textured tan wove paper. Good to very good condition. Provenance: Please contact Joe Stanford (joseph@stanfordauctioneers.com). Comment(s): Undoubtedly a study for a larger work. In the early 1930s Krasner regularly visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York to analyze, absorb and emulate the works of the European Modernists: de Chirico, Miro and Henri Matisse were among her favorites. During this period Krasner was also taking life drawing classes, under various instructors and producing studies of the nude in pencil, conte crayon, ink and charcoal. In 1937 Krasner enrolled at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts and, for the first time, became seriously engaged with Cubism (courtesy National Gallery of Australia). She became one of the most influential American abstract expressionist painters in the second half of the 20th century. On October 25, 1945, she married artist Jackson Pollock, who was also influential in the abstract expressionism movement. She was born Lena Krassner (outside the family she was known as Lenore Krasner) in Brooklyn, New York to Russian Jewish immigrant parents from Bessarabia. Image copyright © Lee Krasner/ARS.

Issued for the opening night exhibition of "Jean Michel Basquiat – Paintings, 1981-1984" at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (the exhibition ran from February 9th to March 31st, 1985). Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph printed for distribution at the event and they went quickly. “Charles the First” was the title of this image at the exhibition; it is now sometimes titled “Most Young Kings Get Thier (sic) Heads Cut Off.” Published by The Fruitmarket Gallery.

Slightly textured white wove paper with serrated lower margin (as issued). Full margins. Fine, strong impression with bright colors. Good to very good condition: folds as issued for mailing; a few handling creases and spots, not in the image. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Paul Marechal, “Andy Warhol Ephemera…Catalogue Raisonne, 1950-1987.” Lyon, France: Les amis du Musee de l’Imprimerie, 2018 (unknown to Marechal, undoubtedly to be included in the forthcoming revised edition); cf. Feldman/Schellmann II.51. For an extensive coverage of the history and importance of this announcement and its exhibition, please see Kirk Varnedoe's essay 'Campbell's Soup Cans, 1962' in Gagosian Gallery's 'Ferus,' 2002, pp. 44-52. The announcement is illustrated, full page, full color, on pg. 42. The exhibition painting upon which the announcement is based is pictured on pg.129. Comment(s): A very rare object. “Gordon’s Print Prices” records only three sales from 1985 to 2019, all works unsigned, the most recent sale realizing $2,750 at Bonhams New York, 12/6/2106, lot #136. The importance of the Warhol exhibition at the Ferus Gallery and this related announcement cannot be overemphasized. Although the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian has a total of 32 different Irving Blum and Ferus Gallery announcements, it does not possess this announcement. As Wikipedia states in its article on the Campbell's Soup Cans, "Warhol…showed the work on July 9th, 1962 in his first one-man gallery exhibition as a fine artist in the Ferus Gallery of Los Angeles, California. The exhibition marked the West Coast debut of pop art." Note the differences in our poster and the related painting to the later, true to life, screenprints of the soup cans. As Varnedoe states,"…Warhol added one central, repeated note of expediently pure abstraction in the solid gold disk that utterly ignores the fine black printing actually found on this area of the real label."

Artist: Jean-Michel Basquiat & Andy Warhol (Americans, 20th Century). Title: "Warhol * Basquiat Paintings [original first printing]". Medium: Original color offset lithograph. Date: Composed 1985. Dimensions: Overall size: 19 x 12 in. (483 x 305 mm). Image size: 19 x 12 in. (483 x 305 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed by both artists in black marker. Edition unknown, presumed small. Smooth cream medium weight wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition; colors very good; a few minor handling marks, else fine. Comment(s): The legendary, iconic, and famous poster of two of the greatest artists of the latter part of the 20th Century, perhaps the most poignant and enduring image of the 1980's NYC art scene. We could locate only 11 sales of this poster in the past 28 years, with only five of these being signed. The auction record for a signed example is $6,600 at Christie's New York, May 1, 2007, lot #839. The image is by Michael Halsband. The show displayed the collaborative paintings that Warhol and Basquiat worked on from 1984-1985. These works were the culmination of their friendship, one which began in the late 70's. Eventually, the two began work on the paintings that would constitute the bulk of this exhibition. But the process was not without conflict. Warhol, whose work ethic was legendary, grew frustrated with Basquiat's erratic appearances and the two worked very little on the paintings at the same time. The show was a financial and critical failure and marked the end of their friendship. The full title of the poster is: "Tony Shafrazi * Bruno Bischofberger Present: Warhol * Basquiat Paintings, September 14 through October 19, 1985, 163 Mercer Street, New York.". [27961-3-3000]

Artist: Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960-1988). Title: "Portrait of Jack Walls [poster]". Medium: Color offset lithograph. Date: Composed 1985. Printed 1986. Dimensions: Overall size: 16 3/8 x 8 3/16 in. (416 x 208 mm).Lot Note(s): Hand-signed in black marker, lower right. Edition size very small. Very light cream smooth thick paper. Full margins. Fine impression. Fine condition. Comment(s): No auction records located for this extremely rare poster. The only impression we could find for sale was an unsigned one at $4,500 offered in February 2021 by Skyline Books, Forest Knolls, California, the distinguished long time bookseller. The text in their listing, with a few deletions but no additions, is here “Promotional poster for the 1986 ‘To Repel Ghosts’ exhibition at Galerie Delta, Rotterdam. It reproduces a painting of fellow artist Jack Walls. Like the poster Basquiat did for his 1982 show at Galerie Delta the print run for this poster was also going to be limited to 35 copies. However, this smaller poster was intended to be folded and mailed but the thick paper used couldn’t be folded without cracking so the project was abandoned and it’s likely that not even 35 copies were done. Very few copies of this poster have surfaced and this is the first one we’ve ever seen or handled. A true Basquiat rarity, arguably his rarest poster.” Image copyright © The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat/ADAGP, Paris; ARS, New York. [30315-3-2400]
