their 1972 Licht Editions Serigraph Calendar. Contributing artists
included John Wesley, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Josef Levi, Charles Hinman,
Paul Van Hoeydonck and Robert Stanley. Each silkscreen was published in
a limited, signed edition of 150 impressions. The wonderful Oscar the
Robot was created for this set. |
