Jim Dine Poster Gilbert & Sullivan City Center NY nice RARE

Description

You are bidding on a poster:
Jim Dine poster for Gilbert and Sullivan season at City Center, NYC; approx 24 ½" x 35"; signed in plate lower left; showing boys in clown makeup in a pink sepia tone, to which one has been added red lips and cheeks; there is also a vertical gold bar running up the center; an interesting, arresting poster (a bit puzzling what this rather avant-garde image has to do with Gilbert and Sullivan!); some edge/corner wear (was stored for decades on a piece of cardboard so edges were slightly curled) and staining (esp bottom) but no tears; foxing; looks like some water stains along the bottom; also there is an impression of a rectangle about 1/4 of the way down the gold bar (something must have been stored against it; looks like the impression goes all the way across, but is most noticeable on the gold bar); verso has some staining, foxing; all that being said, it is a nice example of this strange and arresting historic poster by an interesting artist.

Will be sent rolled in a tube.
