Original drawing on packing paper, 64.5 x 29 cm. Pencil, paint and crayon with rubber stamped text, signed with stamp 'Ted Carey'. The text reads 'A Housewarming, 1712 Second Avenue. The Eye View of the Mode. A Birthday for a Friend. March 15, 1958. R.S.V.P. Ted Carey.' This handmade invitation derives from the personal legacy of the well-known New York based illustrator Jack Potter (1927-2003), a close friend of Carey. Considerable age wear due to the fragile paper, yet a striking item, paint still bright. Folded several times, two water spots, pinholes and rips along extremities of the paper, especially along lower right corner (see pictures). Edward Fawcett Carey (1932-1985) A.K.A. Ted Carey was a painter, illustrator, designer, collector, author, and teacher, also known as a prominent collaborator, studio assistant and shopping partner of Andy Warhol (1928-1987). He was credited to have been influential in Warhol's transition from commercial illustrator to fine artist. Carey continued to paint until his untimely death from AIDS. His works are mostly held in private collections in the USA.
