The Night Time Is The Right Time: N.Y.C. Nightclub Ephemera, 1980s

By the 1980s dozens of new nightclubs and bars including Area, Danceteria, Mudd Club, and Paradise Garage consciously strove to be part of the art world by presenting new music, art, film, video, fashion, and performance.

Arleen Schloss, News And Calendar, Silkscreen Poster, A’s, 1981

Sold

Silkscreen poster, 33″ x 22″.

Arleen Schloss ran the eclectic venue A’s out of her Broome Street loft. Perhaps best known for no wave concerts by the likes of Suicide, Glenn Branca, and Gray, A’s also hosted a steady stream of art exhibitions and performances. This poster was printed to be wheatpasted in public; few other copies are likely to have survived.
