Lot description
EXTREMELY RARE SIGNED ANNOUNCEMENT FROM LICHTENSTEIN'S FIRST EXHIBIT AT THE FERUS GALLERY IN LOS ANGELES AND HIS FIRST SHOW IN CALIFORNIA. Excellent provenance - comes directly from the artist to one of his long-time studio assistants.

Under the directorship of Irving Blum from 1958, the gallery exhibited both the West Coast and New York art of the period. It was the first gallery on the West Coast to devote a solo show to Andy Warhol.

Piece is in pristine condition - it sat in a flat file for almost 50 years.
