New York: Inkweed Studios, 1959. Vintage poster from the 1959 off-Broadway play, which opened on July 15, 1959, at the Living Theatre. Poster designed by Inkweed Studios, with a label affixed to the recto stating showtimes. Presumably either unique or produced in very small quantity. Mounted on art board, as issued and used. Founded in 1951 by Beat poet, Kabbalist, and Lower East Side underground luminary, Lionel Ziprin, with his wife, illustrator and dancer, Joanne Ziprin, Inkweed Studios was originally created to produce "studio cards"-greeting cards to rival the mass-produced cards produced by the Hallmark Company. While not financially successful, Inkweed did produce many outstanding graphics, such as the poster on offer here. The company also served as the launching pad for the graphic work of artists such as Harry Smith, Jordan Belson, Bruce Conner, Barbara Remington, and William Mohr. Jack Gelber's landmark play within a play observes a producer and writer attempting to stage a production using "real" heroin addicts, largely jazz musicians, waiting for their score, interspersed with jazz music. Notable not only for its honest depiction of addiction, the play also radically re-imagined the relationship between audience and actor, with actors utilizing the theatre's aisles as performance areas, an actor presented as an audience member, and actors remaining in character and panhandling during intermission. A key play in the history of American jazz and an evocative portrait, and product, of the Beat era. Winner of three Obie Awards, including Best New Play, Best All-Around Production, and Best Actor for Warren Finnerty. Made into an equally groundbreaking and largely unrecognized motion picture in 1961, directed by Shirley Clarke, and starring Finnerty and William Redfield. 13.75 x 21.75 inches, archivally framed to 16.25 x 24.25 inches. Very Good plus with some light corner and edgewear, a small chip to the bottom right corner, and a small bruise to the mid-right edge., Inkweed Studios, 1959, 0, Oakland, California, U.S.A.: Regent Press. Fine/ . 1991. First Edition. Large Hard Cover Folio. 0916147118 SIGNED By Several Contributors This copy is SIGNED (sometimes with an inscription) on the front half-title page by editor ALLEN COHEN and ORACLE Contributors RON THELIN - MICHAEL BOWEN - JIM PHILLIPS - GENE GRIMM and AMI MAGILL. Writer Cohen and artist Bowen were original founders of the paper, along with Psychedelic Shop owner Ron Thelin; Phillips, Grimm and Magee were artists who contributed to various ORACLE issues. 385 pages, Large folio volume: 14.5 x 11.5 x 1.5 inches, printed on archival paper. This lovely copy is in new condition, having been signed and inscribed for a bookstore opening, and then put away for nearly twenty years. A very bright, clean and solid volume throughout, bound in burgandy colored cloth boards with gilt lettering. As the library journal said at the time: "This full-color re-creation in book form of all 12 issues of the psychedelic newspaper published in Haight-Ashbury from 1966 to 1968 provides a unique historical record for students of the 1960s, representing the works of the Beat poets, the hippies, and the followers of the anti-war movement. Famous for publishing such writers as Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, William Burroughs, Alan Watts, Timothy Leary, Buckminster Fuller, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the tabloid also was well-known for its artwork, graphic designs, and rainbow colors. Editor Cohen, who was one of the paper's founders, contributes a fascinating history of the publication and its creators and contributors." and the New York Times review raved "The fantastic graphics of the Oracle, many wrapped around pages or double spreads of text, were mostly printed in black and white, but many glowed in deep reds, fuchsias, blues, oranges and yellows produced in a printing process now extinct. Regent Press has brought them back to life through what must have been maddeningly laborious handwork on the press; here indeed is the old Oracle in all its Oriental opulence. Open any page and you are back on the streets of the Haight-Ashbury in a time when that tiny urban spot was the Olympus of the newborn world." A fine copy, with important signatures to front, including three of the most prominent figures in the development and history of the Haight-Ashbury, the late Cohen, Bowen and Thelin. Among hundreds of contributors to the books Oracle volumes, often unnamed, are many of the pioneers of the various HAIGHT-ASHBURY movements, including Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, Gary Snyder, Ron Thelin, William Burroughs, Bill Graham, Alan Watts, Steve Levine, Stanley Mouse, Timothy Leary, Michael McClure, Paul Krassner, Buckminster Fuller, Rick Griffin, Dane Rudhyar, Alton Kelly, Ron Cobb and many more, all presented with an informative introduction and brief history from Allen Cohen. A unique and now rare volume in large book format, reproducing the Oracle exactly as it was in the late 1960's. ., Regent Press, 1991, 5<
