Art for AREA Nightclub.

Colored screenprint on cotton t-shirt, circa 1985. 410x510 mm; 16x20 inches, cropped at the lower edge. From an unknown edition size. Signed in felt-tip pen and ink on the left sleeve. Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York.

Created for AREA, a nightclub that was located at 157 Hudson Street in Lower Manhattan. AREA opened in September 1983, originally as an idea for a large scale art project by Eric and Christopher Goode, Shawn Hausman and Darius Azari. It soon became staple of the downtown nightclub and arts scene, known for its rotating themed decor and creative invitations (see Feldman IIIA.65).
