A satirical and humorous cartoon drawing titled Ban Sex by Jules Feiffer. Signed on the bottom right with a 1986 date. The drawing shows two characters - a conservatively dressed man and a woman - who are bantering back and forth about sex and how it is bringing ruin to society. It ends with the woman saying "ban sex." While this item has been professionally cleaned, it has been curated from a smoker's estate. Dimensions: 17h x 21w (framed).
Provenance: This item was curated from the estate of Kenneth Robert Stanley (1957-2022) who was a Detroit musician, world traveler, and collector. Per Rick Manore, co-founder of CPOP Gallery, "Ken was a postal worker for over 30 years, Ken's career afforded him the ability to buy and collect art. His apartment was like a small museum of both famous and up-and-coming artists' work. Ken especially collected Detroit artists, many of whom would become household names. Works by Glenn Barr and Niagara would share walls with Mark Ryden and Roy Lichtenstein. His collection of pristine vinyl records and Rock ephemera was eclectic and focused. Ken's book collection was also tuned to his Post-Postmodern taste. This auction is about more than just great art - it is a testimonial to the love and passion for art and music by Kenneth Robert Stanley."
