Description: Jo Hanson Crab Orchard Cemetery Section and Ephemera Los Angeles Estate Art Collection Item Item #1Actual Styrofoam gravestone created by Jo Hanson from the 1974 exhibition. Item shows some age (49 years!) but this item is in very good condition. One of Jo Hanson's best known works is Crab Orchard Cemetery, a re-creation of her ancestral cemetery in Illinois, which opened at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in 1974. Crab Orchard Cemetery has subsequently shown in two posthumous solo exhibitions in 2009 and again in 2021. Crab Orchard Cemetery (minus this section I have for sale) is currently with the Peninsula Museum of Art in San Bruno, California. Item #2Some water staining on the 1975 exhibition booklet cover, otherwise it is in great vintage condition. Item#3Photocopy of a famous photograph of Jo sweeping her front sidewalk. Jo Hanson's sweeping of her sidewalk grew into a celebrated public art practice and citywide anti-litter campaign. Hanson's work was known for incorporating the detritus she collected while sweeping. She analyzed and classified what she found as a way of documenting daily life in her district and felt that it reflected a disconnect between the consumption and production of goods and the natural world. Please ask any questions or share any requests you may have prior to purchasing. I will ship securely and insured from California.
