Conal, Robbie (artist)

Gag Me with a Coat Hanger. Use Your Voice! Use Your Choice! Pro Abortion Poster

Los Angeles, No publisher, 1991. Unbound. No publisher or place: (Los Angeles, 1991). 27 by 15 ½ inches. Glossy paper stock. A pro-abortion poster created by artist Robbie Conal, known for his postering of Los Angeles with art bearing his social commentary. After Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist issued his gag rule which forbade counsellors at federally subsidized planning clinics to refer clients to doctors who performed abortions, a group of women used this poster art (donated by Conal) to protest the ruling by hanging the posters up around Los Angeles. The group included Mary-Jane Wagle, Deanne Shartin and Ellen Levitt, among others. The group began their efforts in January of 1992. Some posters contained words added by the group, "Abortion is still legal. For information call your local family planning clinic." This particular copy does not, and matches a copy held in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. VERY GOOD condition. Minor wrinkling. A few small bumps along the edges. Very Good .

It's out there in the open.. It's very strong. It ruthlessly forces itself out of me onto the paper.. I hope that somehow revealing that truth about myself is helpful.. but I have to do it," (as quoted in Edward Shannon's 'Something black in the American Psyche: formal innovation and Freudian imagery in the comics of Winsor McCay and Robert Crumb.' But found on Wikipedia ). GOOD condition. Stored rolled, thus curled. Some general wrinkling and creasing. Minor uneven toning and light scattered soiling. (photo upon request). Good .
