Arnie Levin

Air Conditioning

Arnie Levin's original lithograph, "Air Conditioning" is comparable to the satirical art of Mexico's famous artist, Jose Guadalupe Posada, where he, Posada, used images of skeletons to satirize society and culture. Here, the American artist, Arnie Levin depicts his Calaveras taking in the deathly hot air from a window in an apartment in the Bronx, apparently this is their only source of air conditioning. This original lithograph is printed upon pure rag paper and with full, deckled margins as published around 1980. It is signed in pencil and annotated, "P. P. #2" (Printer's Proof) by the artist along the lower margin.
