New York: The Gallery of Modern Art, New York, presumed Publisher, 1967. Unbound. Good. Item #017140
Single sheet, heavier paper stock. 28 ¾ by 20 inches. A poster for an October 30, 1967 exhibition of the graphic art of Felicien Rops, taken from the Brian Reade collection and held at the Gallery of Modern Art, New York and including the Huntington Hartford Collection. Felicien Rops was a Belgian artist sometimes associated with the Symbolist movement, although dismissed by some art critics as a 19th century pornographer. His work often embraced erotic, dark and occult themes, and influenced artists such as Edvard Munch (among others). This poster bears a large black and white illustration of a nude woman from behind, with an eye mask covering her lower body. GOOD condition. Minor wrinkling and creasing to the paper. A few small areas of soiling/discoloration. Light curling and scuffing along the extremities.
