Lot Essay

"Rivers’ work, in a very real sense, is a diary of his personal and historical experience… Where much of the art of our time has been involved with direct conceptual considerations, Rivers has chosen to mirror his preoccupations and enthusiasms in an unprogrammatic way" - Frank O’Hara, quoted in S. Hunter, Larry Rivers, 1989, New York, p. 50
