number 24 of 50 total copies and 9 of 15 total copies respectively, by New York artist Meneeley. The plates show the beauty and energy of repetitive collage, numbers, symbols, portraits, and graphs. Meneeley, a second-generation American Abstract Expressionist, was a friend and contemporary of such artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning, and others, and his works appear at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Gallery, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, among other institutions. Most recently, a new series of abstract expressionist paintings, 'Stations of the Cross,' was exhibited at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City.
