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.
