JOHN ALTOON
(ALTOON, JOHN). Nordland, Gerald. San Francisco: San Francisco Museum of Art, 1967. First Edition. 8vo. Pictorial Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Fine.. 32pp, 11 b&w and 2 color illustrations + color cover. With an exhibition checklist and bibliography. This is the catalogue published in conjunction with a 1967 San Francisco Museum of Art retrospective of sixty-six paintings and works on paper by John Altoon. The exhibition (which traveled to the Pasadena Art Museum and UC San Diego's Museum of Art) was only the second Museum survey of the quirky Los Angeles based, Ferus Gallery affiliated artist's erotically charged work prior to his untimely death in 1969. A handsome example of this uncommon item showing just a bit of light spotting to its white covers. Inventory Number: 024782
