["Not only was Frank O'Hara one of the most important American poets of his generation, he was also intimately involved with the art world of the 1950s and 1960s, a time when New York had become the cultural capital of the world. As an associate curator at the Museum of Modern Art, O'Hara organized a series of important exhibitions, notably of the work of Franz Kline and of Robert Motherwell. This text explores this key period in modern art by presenting artists who were associated with Frank O'Hara and whose seminal works are reflected in his poetry. Featuring over 80 works by 23 artists, the book focuses on works closely tied to specific poems by Frank O'Hara, notably Jasper John' s "In Memory of My feelings - Frank O'Hara" and Grace Hartigan's "Oranges".Included are direct collaborations bwteen O'Hara and various artists such as Joe Brainard, Norman Bluhm, and Larry Rivers, as well as portraits of the poet by Elaine de Kooning and Alex Katz, Franz Kline, Alice Neel, and Joan Mitchell are some of the other artists highlighted" - publisher's description].
