Clarke Dylan Thomas Sid Vicious and multiple people associated with Andy Warhol's Factory. A part of the New York School of the 1950s of which Frank O'Harra was the crux due to his position at the MOMA Rivers' paintings drew inspiration from the contemporary avant-garde movement in particular abstract expressionism.

In near fine condition. An intimate association copy linking these great artists of the 20th century. 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.
