Suggested Design for a Brochure Announcing Ray Gun Show at the Judson Gallery
1960

A framed artwork featuring a black and white abstract drawing with bold, dark brushstrokes on the right side, tapering off to the left where there is text partially visible beneath the drawing. The text includes names and titles, suggesting the underlying material might be a printed page or a document. The piece is mounted on a white background.
