About the Item

Robert Petersen The Clocktower Exhibition (Hand signed and inscribed), 1979 Offset lithograph poster (hand signed and warmly inscribed) Warmly signed and inscribed "For Marilyn Love You Bob Petersen" Unnumbered 18 × 12 inches Unframed Provenance Estate of Friede & Rubin L. Gorewitz (famed CPA to artists like Andy Warhol, Peter Max, etc.) A relic of a moment in time in the downtown Manhattan art scene: Rare poster from artist Robert Petersen's exhibition at the famed Clocktower, the precurser to New York's PS1/MOMA, sponsored by, Institute for Art and Urban Resources, New York, which was founded by Alana Heiss and hosted exhibitions by important artists of the era. The Clocktower was a stunning Beaux Arts building in Tribeca at 108 Leonard Studio that was once occupied by New York Life Insurance Company before it was abandoned and repurposed as an avant-garde exhibition space. Today, the Clocktower has been renovated into ultra luxury residences and it is classified as a National Landmark. But the building's present day claim to fame is that it is the home to the famed Jack Shainman Gallery, which occupies 20,000 square feet, across two sprawling floors of the building. This poster is hand signed warmly inscribed. Unframed Robert Petersen biography Robert Petersen is a multimedia artist. Born in Iowa in 1945, Petersen spent his adolescence in California and graduated from California State University, Long Beach in 1969 with a BFA in printmaking. After graduating, he worked at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles where he met Rauschenberg while working on the latter’s Stoned Moon series (1969–70). In 1970, Petersen moved to Captiva, Florida with Rauschenberg and together the two artists established Untitled Press Inc., an experimental print shop. There they printed their own work as well as that of artist friends Brice Marden, Cy Twombly, and Susan Weil among others. Petersen lives and works in Tivoli, New York with his wife and daughter. -Courtesy the Rauschenberg Foundation
