This is an original poster created by Salvatore Scarpitta for his exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston in 1972. Acquired from the esteemed collection of posters held by renowned art dealer Leo Castelli, this piece holds significant historical and artistic value.

The poster reflects Scarpitta's avant-garde approach, likely drawing from his signature works involving wrapped canvases and sculptural forms that explore themes of tension, materiality, and motion. As a part of Castelli's collection, this poster is not only a promotion of the exhibition but also a rare artifact tied to two pivotal figures in contemporary art history.
