Larry Rivers (American, 1923-2002) Paris Review, 1991 color silkscreen signed, dated and numbered lower right edition of 20 28 1/2 x 27 3/4; Framed size is 32"w x 33"h. Provenance: The Paris Review. The cover photo is from an auction site and is another print from this edition, but wanted to include an unframed version without glare. Born Yitzroch Loiza Grossberg in 1923, Larry Rivers paved the way for the birth of Pop Art through his innovative marrying of Abstract Expressionism, Nouveau Réalisme and the iconic imagery of commercial advertising. Esteemed for his contributions by critics and contemporaries, Rivers occupies a singular place in the history of contemporary art as evinced in a statement by Andy Warhol, proclaiming “Larry’s painting style was unique - it wasn’t Abstract Expressionism and it wasn’t Pop, it fell into the period in between. But his personality was very Pop.”
