This clever and imaginative vintage Red Grooms silkscreen was created in 1973 for the legendary New York Collection for Stockholm portfolio, issued to commemorate the collection of paintings and sculpture by top New York artists of the 1960s, assembled by Hultén and Klüver for the Moderna Museet Museum in Stockholm. The roster of artists included is a who's who's of the New York art world during one of its most influential decades: Lee Bontecou, John Chamberlain, Walter De Maria, Jim Dine, Mark Di Suvero, Dan Flavin, Red Grooms, Hans Haacke, Donald Judd, Elsworth Kelly, Sol Lewitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Kenneth Noland, Claes Oldenburg, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, George Segal, Richard Serra, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and others. This work is fully reference in the catalogue raisonne of Red Grooms prints, reproduced as a full page. Red Grooms explains,
"Billy Kluver [of Moderna Museet museum] asked me to do an image for the portfolio. E.A.T. [Rauschenberg's printing company] was producing in connection with the New York Portfolio for Stockholm. Rather than coming up with a concrete image, I opted for a visual stream of consciousness." (p. 79)
This work, sometimes referred to as "E.A.T." or "Expedition" interchangeably (after the text in the image) is sold in an elegant wooden frame, with plexiglass Framed and ready to hang!
