1971réf. 43042New 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.
