Abe Ribicoff.

Color lithograph on white wove paper, 1974. 790x590 mm; 31 1/4x33 1/4 inches (sheet), full margins. Signed and numbered 77/90 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression with strong colors.

Abraham Ribicoff (1910-1998) was a U.S. Senator (1963-1981) and the chosen running mate, for the 1972 Democratic vice-presidential nomination, alongside George McGovern. However, Ribicoff declined and instead chose to focus his Senate career fighting for such issues as school integration, welfare and tax reform and consumer protection.
