Greetings [card set]

Rothenberg, Erika

A box of five screenprinted, signed and numbered folded greeting cards with political overtones by Erika Rothenberg, No. 4 in an edition of 125. Rothenberg said "In 1992 the Museum of Modern Art, New York, invited me to do a one-person exhibition as part of its Projects series. I have been making satirical greeting cards from 1991 to today, but this was my chance to create a portrait of America in a large space on the main floor of a hugely attended museum. The 90 hand-painted greeting cards are a compendium of every awful, ignorant thing we do to one another. They are arranged in sections— Politics, The Economy, Racism, Religion, etc. — and push the envelope of acceptability and taste." This set was produced as an edition after the exhibit. Each card is initialed on the verso by Rothenberg, and each has a glassine envelope. Item #236.

Condition: Fine, two tiny creases to stiff mylar box cover.
