Label Text:Walasse Ting was born in China in 1929 and settled in New York in 1964 after a 10-year stay in Paris. In 1963 he approached a number of Pop and Abstract Expressionist artists to illustrate his slang-filled, light-hearted poems about women, sex, and the modern accoutrements of life in the United States.
