Roman numeral II near signature block.1975 A-Z: artist's own use"did this poster on a whim because I got a good idea out of the blue and nothing to do with it. I don't get that many good ideas and I hate to waste them. I like libraries and especially the Berkeley Public Library or berkeley pvblic library as it says on the front. When it was printed I packaged them up and took them to the main desk and set the packages down and said "Here's your posters" and left. For a while the people at the library accused one another of ordering a poster without proper authorization and the bureaucratic fur flew. But when somebody finally had the bright idea to give me a call and ask what was going on and I told them it was for free and nobody had overstepped any departmental bounds they were much relieved and asked for more."
