Portfolio containing 62 original lithographs on handmade paper by 28 American and European artists including Pierre Alechinsky, Karel Appel, Enrico Baj, Alan Davie, Jim Dine, Sam Francis, Robert Indiana, Asger Jorn, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Mitchell, Claes Oldenburg, Mel Ramos, Robert Rauschenberg, Jean-Paul Riopelle, James Rosenquist, Antonio Saura, Bram Van Velde, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmannn. Interspersed with poems by Walasse Ting. Laid in to the original white linen chemise with title in black to the upper covers. Housed in the original pink cloth solander case. The chemise and contents are in fine, bright condition. The solander case with a little wear to the extremities, is otherwise bright and structurally sound. Issued in an edition of 100 'special copies', this example is numbered 42 (this example one of 20 'rest of the world' copies) with each lithograph signed by the artist. Scarce in this complete state, many copies having been broken up for individual framing. This ambitious project was instigated by Chinese born artist Walasse Ting, who settled in New York and found an affinity with Pop Art after spending time in Paris, where he befriended and was influenced by European Expressionists. With the help of his friend, American artist Sam Francis, he set out to create a collaborative portfolio book which brought together the most exciting European and American artists to be printed alongside his own poems, vividly describing the moments, anxieties, and delights of everyday life. The portfolio became something of an international manifesto of 1960s art; the cumulative effect of the artists' lithographs and the book's design creating a colourful visual language that beautifully summarises the soul and aesthetics of the period.
