The pages are clean and in nice condition, with some browning due to age at the edges Artists Equity was formed in 1947 to assist American artists and promote economic opportunities for them. During the 1950s, the organization raised funds through a masquerade ball held annually in New York City. The event's program merged Art and Commerce in a unique annual journal called IMPROVISATIONS. Each artist participating in the journal produced a full-page advertisement for one of the sponsors. The member-artists who illustrated the journal were selected by the advertisers and given complete freedom of expression. Each page was designed by an artist directly on a litho plate, making IMPROVISATIONS a collection of original lithographs. Our father collected seven issues of IMPROVISATIONS, and we are selling them all separately this week. Please check our other listings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our father was a bibliophile who collected rare books, letters, and ephemera for more than 60 years. For now and into the foreseeable future, we will be listing rare paper items from his estate. Take a look at all our items for sale. We combine shipping.
