About the Item

Andy Warhol, Robert Whitman, Robert Rauschenberg, Red Grooms, Marisol, Tom Gormley. ART CASH (signed by all six artists), 1971 Double sided offset lithograph on wove paper with full margins Listing offers the double-sided page; single-printed page not included. Bears Andy Warhol's stamped signature, signed by Robert Whitman, Robert Rauschenberg, Tom Gormley, Red Grooms and Marisol, numbered, dated Numbered 73 from the limited edition of only 75 27 1/2 × 22 inches Printed by the American Bank Note Company, published by Experiments in Art and Technology, Inc., New York (Robert Rauschenberg's printer) Unframed This two sided coveted offset lithograph on wove paper bears Andy Warhol's official stamped signature, and is signed in pencil by Robert Whitman, Robert Rauschenberg, Tom Gormley, Red Grooms and Marisol, and dated and numbered 73/75 in pencil, printed by the American Bank Note Company, published by Experiments in Art and Technology, Inc., New York.) What's incredibly cool is that the American Bank Note Company - the same company that prints money for the United States Treasury Dept. - printed this work on the same paper used for U.S. currency at the time (minus the threading employed for anti-counterfeit measures). Two sided (see additional photos). ART CASH was created by members of Experiments in Art and Technology, a non-profit organization founded by engineers Billy Klüver and Fred Waldhauer and artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman. ART CASH was created for a gambling fundraising event - and produced as both stacks of the bills, along with more desirable uncut editioned sheets of Art Cash signed by the artists. This is one of the editioned sheets. Below is an excerpt from Grace Glueck's 1971 article about this unique project: "If Andy Warhol could design this country's currency, he'd make it “easy to copy.” Robert Rauschenberg would “put a lot more fantasy into it.” And Red Grooms would, give it “a gaggy look, like play money.” So far, the Treasury Department has not invited these artists to execute their ideas, But an unofficial body has—Experiments in Art and Technology, a collaborative of artists and engineers. To raise money—real money for artists' experimental activities in television, the group recently asked the artists named above, plus three more—Marisol, Robert Whitman and Tom Gormley—to design some “counterfeit” cash. The bills they've come up with, in such offbeat denominations as 3's, 12's and 51's, will be used as “artcash” scrip for a benefit art auction at the organization's headquarters, Automation House, 49 East 68th Street, on the evenings of Dec. 2 and 3. There the scrip, bought for real money, may be used to purchase graphic works by such artists as Josef Albers, Richard Anuskiewicz, Arman, Romare Bearden, Jim Dine, Jean Dubuffet, Helen Frankenthaler, Barbara Hepworth, Jasper Johns, Larry Rivers, Saul Steinberg and others. “Asking artists to design the money was a natural, since historically art and money have always been tied together,” said Billy Kluver, the organization's president. “And you need money to go on TV, too..."

Pop Art Appropriation Print: Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, SIGNED
By Richard Pettibone
Located in New York, NY
Richard Pettibone The Appropriation Print: Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, 1970 (Andy Warhol's Electric Chair, Frank Stella's Empress of India and Roy Lichtenstein's Spray) Silkscreen in colors on smooth wove paper Pencil signed and dated 1971 on the front Frame included: Elegantly floated and framed in a white wood frame under UV plexiglass in accordance with museum conservation standards Measurements: frame: 15 7/8 x 19 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches sheet: 12 1/4 x 16 inches This is one of Richard Pettibone's most iconic, popular and desirable prints done in 1970 - during the most influential era of the Pop Art movement. This homage to Andy Warhol, Frank Stella and Roy Lichtenstein exemplifies the type of artistic appropriation he was engaging in early on during the height of the Pop Art movement - long before more contemporary artists like Deborah Kass, Louise Lawler, etc. followed suit. Pencil signed and dated recto. It was created in limited edition - though the exact number is not known. More about RIchard Pettibone: As a young painter, Richard Pettibone began replicating on a miniature scale works by newly famous artists, and later also modernist masters, signing the original artist’s name as well as his own. His versions of Andy Warhol’s soup...

Exclusive Invitation Card to Andy Warhol Memorial Lunch from Estate of Tim Hunt
By Andy Warhol
Located in New York, NY
SUPER RARE! Invitation Card to private Andy Warhol Memorial Lunch, from the Estate of Tim Hunt, 1987 Offset lithograph card 6 1/2 × 3 3/5 inches Unframed This exclusive invitation to the private memorial lunch for Andy Warhol is an historic collectors item. Few people in the world own this card other than those who were invited to the event and/or their heirs, though it has occasionally appeared at public auction now that another generation has passed. This offset lithograph invitation card to Andy Warhol's Memorial Lunch at the Diamond Horseshoe in the Paramount Hotel bears an image of Andy Warhol's iconic 1967 Marilyn on one side, and on the other side is an announcement that reads as follows: ANDY WARHOL A Memorial Lunch Wednesday, April 1, 1987 The Diamond Horseshoe 235 West 46th Street New York City Special thanks to: Carillon Importers Caffe Condotti Glorious Food All leftover food and flowers will be donated to the homeless program at Church of the Heavenly Rest. Marilyn - Andy Warhol 1967 The provenance of this card is impressive as it comes from the estate of Warhol Foundation curator and sales agent Tim Hunt, who was married to bestselling author Tama Janowitz, author of "Slaves of New York". Tama would describe how she met Tim Hunt as follows:  "Andy Warhol died in 1987. In the long hot summer after, I bought a tiny basement apartment on West 70th Street over by West End Ave. That’s when I met Tim Hunt. A model for Werther’s Caramel and Ralph Lauren who’d gone to Oxford and had a brother who was a famous race car driver, he’d been with Christie’s a few years and had come over from England to work on the Warhol estate. He would later become my husband. Andy would have loved Tim. But the two had never met..." The event in this invitation is the more exclusive Memorial Lunch on April 1st 1987, held prior to Warhol's Memorial Mass at St. John the Divine, later that evening, the latter of which was attended by thousands of people. The press referred to this earlier event as a "Special Memorial Lunch Party" - using the vernacular of the day, as everything in the mid to late 1980s seemed like a party - until it was not. Interestingly, no start time, or even time range, is mentioned on this invitation - something that is rarely if ever missing from such an item; further evidence that it wasn't enough just to get this card; one had to already be in the know to be able to attend. Either that, or the lunch party was going on all day - so invitees could show up whenever they wanted. Or, alternatively, it was simply an accidental omission with no hidden message. And another side note: one of the sponsors of this Memorial luncheon, Carillon Importers, is the holding company or importer for Absolut Vodka, which commissioned Andy Warhol to create a series of advertising ads that would comprise one of the most successful, award-winning advertising campaigns of the era - and the most successful of the company's history. Who attended this event? Probably everybody who was anybody in the nexis of art, celebrity, high fashion and big business. Getty images features photographs by celebrity paparazzo Ron Galella of some of Warhol pals entering or leaving the Diamond Horseshoe for this exclusive event including Dianne Brill...
