O'Hara gave Rivers full credit for getting the book published: "I doubt very much if John Myers would ever have published my first pamphlet A City Winter if one of his artists Larry Rivers hadn't wanted him to and wanted to do the drawings for it." Rivers was one of the artists represented by the Tibor de Nagy Gallery and its favorite owing to John Bernard Myers' infatuation with him. "No matter how large Myers' stable of artists became Rivers was . . . always the showpiece." - Brad Gooch City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O'Hara N. Y.: Alfred A. Knopf 1993 p. 199. Between 1951 and 1961 with the exception of two years Myers devoted the gallery's December show to Rivers' work. Covers a bit faded otherwise a fine copy. RIVERS Larry.

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.
