(American, 1926-1997)
Untitled #3 (AH) , 1998
Color lithograph and serigraph on paper

Estate-signed, pencil-numbered (11/ 36) to the bottom margin, alongside a Gemini G.E.L. chop mark. The glazed frame measures 36 1/2" x 29 1/2" x 1 1/4".
In the year preceding his death, Ginsberg worked with Gemini G.E.L. to produce six limited edition images; these print runs were executed and published posthumously. "Untitled #3" includes two instances of Ginsberg's "AH" mantra (reversed in the print, in the sun at the top left and the sunflower at the bottom right), inspired by William Blake's poem "Ah! Sun-flower," the subject of a formative hallucination experienced by Ginsberg in 1948.

DON BALKE (B. 1933) "WESTERN MEADOWLARK"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Western Meadowlark and Sunflower" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood commemorative cover for "Balke's Birds and Flowers" series, U.S. 20c Meadowlark/Sunflower, cancelled January 29, 1985.
A Kansas naturalist had this to say about the Western Meadowlark: "Kansas is primarily a prairie state, and the Meadowlark is a prairie bird. So many of our birds range only in parts of the state, while the Meadowlark is extremely abundant in every county. Those traveling the state by car or train could scarcely fail to encounter these birds in every mile of the journey, since they have the habit of perching along the fence lines. It is a strikingly beautiful bird, and every child is familiar with its rich liquid songs." The Western Meadowlark is truly a part of Kansas in all seasons. through drought and blizzard, sunshine and rain.
One of nature's largest flowers, the Sunflower is a sunburst of radiant yellow. The Sunflower's golden banners are made up of a circle of ray flowers that attract insects to the hundreds of little brown seed-bearing disk flowers in the centers. Each disk floret is a five-pointed tube. In this are five stamens which have their tips joined. The pistil, growing from the seed container, pushes against these tips and forces them out of the tube, making the pollen burst out like a yellow star. Sunflowers grow up to ten feet tall in a single season. The heavy heads bend over and scatter the ripe seeds where a new generation will grow in the spring.

- PAIR OF MEXICAN CERAMIC CATRINAS BY
PAIR OF MEXICAN CERAMIC CATRINAS BY NERI ('99 & '01)Latin America, Mexico, 20th century. The Sunflower Catrina is signed and dated " En Domingo '01 - Neri (perhaps for Patricia Neri) Mexico Capula" - The Catrina with a traditional bonnet is signed and dated "En Domingo '99 / Neri". A wonderful pair of handcrafted Mexican folk art sculptures depicting La Catrina from Capula, Michoacan, one lovely skeletal lady wearing the traditional bonnet, the other adorned with sunflowers. These tall, elegant figures are modeled in ceramic and tastefully embellished with skillfully applied and glazed details. Size of La Catrina w/ Bonnet: 25.875" H (65.7 cm) Size of Sunflower Catrina: 24.875" H (63.2 cm)
These figures are quite popular during the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday - a celebration to honor the lives of deceased ancestors. La Catrina is one of the most recognizable figures of The Day of the Dead celebrations. This tall female skeleton traditionally wears an elaborate hat decorated with feathers. Her history is deep - the Aztecs worshipped her as a goddess of death who was believed to protect their deceased loved ones as they transitioned to the afterlife. The image of Catrina is thought to have originated with the Mexican graphic artist Jose Guadalupe Posada (Mexican, 1852-1913) in the early 1900s. A political cartoonist who was no stranger to controversy, Posada created this dandy-looking female skeleton wearing a fancy feathered hat, since some Mexicans wished to look like aristocratic Europeans during this period.
