Paula Cooper Gallery, Tenth Anniversary Benefit for the Kitchen, Card, 1981.  Size: 4 x 6 inches.

This invitation for a benefit exhibition features a drawing by Robert Longo from his “Men in the Cities” series.  Longo is one of the prominent names of the Pictures Generation, a loose grouping of artists interested in mass media who often found new meanings by isolating and re-contextualizing images.  The Kitchen founded in Soho in 1971 was a pioneering venue for performance art.
