Artist: Robert Fried – American (1937- 1975 ) Title: Non Negotiable Eights Year: 1971 Medium: Color offset lithographs with rubber stamp Sight size: 16.375 x 24.875 inches. Sheet size: 22 x 28 inches Signature: Unsigned. (stamped in lower right corner: NOTICE Not valid for postage or use on mail matter THANK YOU, R. FRIED) Edition size: approximately 150 Condition: Very good Unframed This print is by the noted psychedelic era artist Robert Fried. Many of his prints were sheets of supposed postage stamps, often with social criticism or political commentary. This print is from that body of work. It is on a slick white wove paper and it has perforations, so it really does appear to be a page of stamps. Each image is approximately 1.625 x 1.25 inches. Each “stamp” is slightly larger, 1.875 x 1.5 inches. There are five different images, each surreal and political in its own way. The print is in very good condition with bright rich colors. Robert Fried was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1937. A child art prodigy, he was accepted at age 11 by the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where he took classes in drawing. In college he studied graphic art, receiving his associate degree from the New York City Community College, his BA from Cooper Union, and his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Beyond his formal education, he was an assistant for Robert Motherwell, received a Fulbright scholarship and grant (for printmaking) from the National Endowment for the Arts, and participated in a residency at the Simon Fraser University near Vancouver, BC. Fried is best known for the flamboyant posters he created for psychedelic rock concerts during San Francisco’s Summer of Love. His last project was commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Art (now the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art); he and five other artists were asked to travel to Baja California for a month and produce artworks visually evocative of their trip. The night before the exhibition’s reception, Fried died of a stroke in Redwood City, CA, at the age of 37. From FAMSF: Painter, printmaker and sculptor Robert Fried is best known for the psychedelic rock concert posters he created during San Francisco’s Summer of Love and its aftermath. Born in Brooklyn in 1937, Fried’s father was a master clockmaker who wrote several books on clock making, illustrated with his own technical drawings and those by his young son, whom he had instructed. Fried took drawing classes from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn from age 11. He studied graphic art at New York City Community College, receiving an Associate of Arts degree, and worked as a commercial artist. Fried won a scholarship to attend The Cooper Union, from which he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1961. He taught at the Provincetown Workshop with Victor Candell (1903-1977), served as an assistant to Robert Motherwell (1915-1991), exhibited at New York’s Brata Gallery and became acquainted with Timothy Leary (1920-1996) and LSD. The recipient of a Fulbright scholarship, Fried and his new bride Penelope (b. 1942) went to Spain, ostensibly to study the Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664). They lived in Madrid for two years, a period when Fried painted several large canvasses. They moved back to New York City in 1965. Fried applied to the graduate programs at various schools, and was accepted by the San Francisco Art Institute. They drove across the country with their infant daughter in 1966. While studying at the Art Institute, Fried worked as a free-lance graphic artist and started creating screenprints again. Fried received his M.F.A degree from the Art Institute in 1968. Having noticed the appearance of psychedelic rock concert posters, he had become friends with poster artists Victor Moscoso (b. 1936, also a Cooper Union graduate) and Rick Griffin...
