RAMMELLZEE. Urban Abstraction.
(New York, NY): Frank Bernarducci Gallery, [1985]. First edition. Postcard. 11.5cm by 15.2cm. Invitational postcard for the opening reception of the Urban Abstraction exhibition at the Frank Bernarducci Gallery, on Saturday September 28th, [1985]. The exhibition ran until October 20th and included works by AJ, Bama, Bando, Cas, Duster, Ero, Jon 156, Rammellzee, Koor, Prins, Spank, Seen, Stan, TB, Toxic and Vulcan. The show was one of the first gallery exhibitions exclusively dedicated to the abstract work-on-canvas of pre-eminent graffiti artists. At the opening, graffiti artists from across New York mixed with East Village artists and other guests. Gallery owner Frank Bernaducci recalled his studio visit to Rammellzee’s big, empty TriBeCa loft where the artist had laid his paintings flat on the floor all the way around the room. The only other things in the loft were a low wooden table with three chairs and a bottle of Tabasco sauce sitting on the table. Throughout the visit Ramellzee supposedly sipped deliberately from the bottle of Tabasco. The ‘afterparty’ was a free-for-all at Nightclub Inferno. The card, addressed (Judith Aminoff) and posted is in very good condition, some light edgewear.
