DAVID WOJNAROWICZ (1954-1992)


If I had a dollar...
Screenprint poster, 863x705 mm, 34x27 3/4 inches. [New York.] Circa 1990.

Wojnarowicz went on to use these words on a diptych he designed in 1990 for ACT UP. This is a previously unrecorded printing. A series of smeared rubber date stamps on the back appear to read "Sept 23 1988," suggesting that this preceeded the finalized art work by several years.

Provenance: From the Estate of Brian Butterick.
