Original lithographic poster with art by Conrad Marca-Relli for exhibiiton at The Whitney Mueseum of American Art in 1967.

Conrad Marca-Relli was an American artist associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement in New York during the postwar years. While many of his contemporaries expressed emotion through bold, gestural brushwork, Marca-Relli developed a more structured and architectural style. He became known for his innovative collages, composed of layered pieces of painted canvas, paper, and fabric. Through these textured surfaces, he explored the balance between abstraction and figuration, often hinting at human or architectural forms beneath the composition.

Marca-Relli’s art bridges painting and sculpture, combining emotion with precision. His disciplined approach to collage expanded the possibilities of modern art and secured his place among the major figures of Abstract Expressionism, with works represented in leading museums such as MoMA and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

The piece is framed with a vintage silver-plated frame from the same time as the poster and placed on a warm gray background.
