In Memory of My Feelings Frank O'Hara Museum of Modern Art 2005 MOMA HCDJ

Description: In Memory of My Feelings. A Selection of Poems by Frank O'Hara. Edited by Bill Berkson. The Museum of Modern Art. Reprint edition, 2005 "O'Hara was a vital figure in the New York cultural scene and spent many years working at The Museum of Modern Art, where, having begun by taking a job selling postcards on the admissions desk, he ultimately became an associate curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture. And when he unexpectedly died [at the age of 40 in 1966], in an accident on the beach at Fire Island, New York, he was deeply mourned by the Museum's staff and by the New York art world. In Memory of My Feelings was published by the Museum in 1967 to honor its late curator. The book was edited by the poet Bill Berkson, who had been a close friend of O'Hara's and was then a guest editor in the Museum's Department of Publications. Berkson invited thirty artists who had known O'Hara, ranging from Willem de Kooning to Claes Oldenburg, from Joan Mitchell to Jasper Johns, to produce works to accompany his poems. The book was issued in a limited edition as a set of folded sheets held loose in a cloth-and-board folio that was itself contained in a slipcase. Now, for the first time, the Museum has republished In Memory of My Feelings in a conventionally bound edition, and with a newly designed paper jacket instead of a slipcase. In every other way, however, this book is an exact facsimile of the edition of 1967." Book is in very good condition, pages unmarked. Dustjacket has tears, edge fraying, and a round impression perhaps where it was used as a coaster, front flap has a corner crease. Please zoom in on photos which show the book from all sides. I add new listings daily and am happy to combine shipping. More Art-Crafts-Hobbies Books Book will be carefully packaged and shipped in a cardboard book wrapper.
