Label Text:Ting, an artist and poet who was born in China in 1929 and who came to New York in 1964 (after a ten-year stay in Paris), approached a number of Pop Art and Abstract Expressionist artists to illustrate his light-hearted poems, full of slang, about the modern accoutrements of life in the U.S., women and sex. Lithographs were elicited from Alechinsky, Appel, Dine, Francis, Indiana, Lictenstien, Oldenburg, Ramos, Rosenquist, Warhol and others. The publication was dedicated to Florence Barron, a Detroit collector.
