David Wojnarowicz
Untitled (Between C & D)

1985

About the Item

In this offset poster, printed in collaboration with the Lower East Side literary magazine, "Between C & D," David Wojnarowicz confronts and denounces violence against members of the LGBT community. Cynthia Carr discusses this poster in her biography, "Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz." She relates the episode of when Wojnarowicz became estranged from collaborator Marion Scemama during the production of this piece and inked out her name on the copies of the poster in his possession. This is a copy from his estate. Between C & D (1983–1990) was a Lower East Side quarterly literary magazine edited by Joel Rose and Carherine Texier. Though a geographical reference to the blocks between Avenue C and Avenue D in New York City's East Village neighborhood, “Between C & D” has also been suggested to mean “between coke and dope,” giving an indication of the publication's transgressive content and ethos. The magazine's actual tagline was “Sex. Drugs. Danger. Violence. Computers.” It was printed on fanfold computer paper, sold in a plastic bag, and featured original artwork on each binding. Contributors included Kathy Acker, Dennis Cooper, Gary Indiana, Tama Janowitz, Lynn Tillman, and David Wojnarowicz. The magazine is discussed in-depth in Brandon Stosuy’s "Up Is Up, But So Is Down: New York’s Downtown Literary Scene, 1974-1992" (NYU Press, 2006). David Wojnarowicz was born in Red Bank, New Jersey in 1954. He experienced an extremely difficult childhood with a highly abusive family life. Maturing with a sense of his homosexuality, Wojnarowicz dropped out of high school and was living on the streets by the age of sixteen. He soon turned to hustling in Times Square, in New York City. After hitchhiking many times across the U.S. and living for a time in San Francisco and Paris, he finally settled in New York’s East Village in 1978, where he began exhibiting artwork. Wojnarowicz died of AIDS-related illness in New York City in 1992, at the age of 37.

Original Einstein "Hair. It's not the style that counts" vintage poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Original Einstein vintage poster. “Hair. It’s not the style that counts, it’s what’s under it.” A black and white image of Einstein with his hair messed me. Linen-backed in excellent condition, ready to frame. From a series of portraits with inspirational quotes from The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Photo from Bettmann Archive. The poster is a variation of the original photo with the quote “It’s not the style that counts, it’s what’s under it”. This quote is a play on words emphasizing substance's importance over style.
