(after) David Hockney
Vintage David Hockney poster Metropolitan Opera (Parade) 1981 New York

1982

About the Item

Original poster printed on the occasion of the Metropolitan Opera’s 1981 production of Parade, a triple-bill of short French pieces directed by John Dexter, for which David Hockney designed sets and costumes. The pieces included Satie's ''Parade,'' Poulenc's ''Les Mamelles de Tiresias'' and Ravel's ''L'Enfant et les Sortileges.” This work captures Hockney’s inventive poster-art set for Parade. Here, one of the tumblers stands on his hands behind a striped ladder. The whimsy of this scene is enhanced by rainbow-colored, hand-painted text. Erik Satie’s “Parade” originally debuted in Paris in 1912, written by Jean Cocteau, and with costumes by Pablo Picasso. Featuring a troupe of carnival performers, it was panned for its avant-garde use of sound effects, bizarre costumes, and surreal plot. Text reads: “Parade, Metropolitan Opera, New York, 1981” Poster measures 38 x 24 in. / 96.5 x 61 cm Condition: some dimples in the sheet as documented

    Located in New York, NY
    Patti Smith Voice Choices (hand signed by Patti Smith) from the Gotham Book Mart collection, 2001 Offset print broadsheet, hand signed in ink on the cover 14 × 11 inches Unframed This cover, hand signed by Patti Smith, is from "Voice Choices" - a feature of the legendary Village Voice magazine, dated April 2001 - five months before 9/11/2001 when everything changed in the downtown Manhattan scene. A terrific collectible for Patti Smith fans. Provenance is superb as it was acquired from the sale of the collection of Edward Gorey and Gotham Book Mart. The Gotham Book Mart was a famous Midtown Manhattan bookstore and cultural landmark that operated from 1920 to 2007. The business was located first in a small basement space on West 45th Street near the Theater District, then moved to 51 West 47th Street, then spent many years at 41 West 47th Street within the Diamond District in Manhattan, New York City, before finally moving to 16 East 46th Street. Beyond merely selling books, the store virtually played as a literary salon, hosting meetings of the Finnegans Wake Society, the James Joyce Society, poetry and author readings, art exhibits, and more. It was known for its distinctive sign above the door which read, "Wise Men Fish Here" (sign created by artist John Held Jr.). The store specialized in poetry, literature...
