Announcement card for Mark Morrisroe (1959–1989) at ClampArt, New York. Issued to coincide with Mark Morrisroe: From This Moment On at Artists Space — the first comprehensive U.S. survey of Morrisroe’s work. The recto reproduces Self Portrait, 1980/1996, from the Ringier Collection, Fotomuseum Winterthur.

Morrisroe was a key figure in the Boston School and late 1970s/1980s queer photographic culture. His photographs, photograms, hand-worked prints, and films drew from friends, lovers, performance, illness, self-mythology, and everyday life. He died from AIDS-related illness at thirty, leaving a short but highly influential body of work.

A small announcement card from the 2011 re-entry of Morrisroe’s work into wider institutional circulation. Portrait, dates, gallery address, concurrent survey. The artist compressed into a mailed support.

Condition: Good vintage condition. Light surface rubbing, minor handling marks, faint age toning, and slight corner wear.

Shipping and handling included.
