197143042New York: Yippy 1971. First Edition. Original machine lithographed poster in colors 72cm x 58cm ca 28-1/2" x 22-1/2". A few minor edge-creases but a bright unfaded unworn example Near Fine A-. Unbacked. Rather early poster commission by the artist and art-world provocateur Robert Cenedella. Cenedella is perhaps best known for his 2018 lawsuit against five American art museums in which he alleges that museums and private gallerists have been co-conspirators in denying certain artists -- including himself -- mainstream success. The current design delightfully unironic reproduces the insignia of the United Nations in day-glo colors with psychedelic typography at lower 1/3 of image. Apparently uncommon; we find no catalogued examples in OCLC; not in the on-line catalog of the OAC. Yippy unknown books
