Note: in 1962, the Chinese-American artist Walasse Ting shared his dream project with painter Sam Francis to create an anthology of his poetry illustrated by leading artists of their time. Over the next two years, Ting and Francis recruited Abstract Expressionists and Pop artists Andy Warhol, Joan Mitchell, Robert Rauschenburg and Roy Lichtenstein, among them—to create prints for their collaborative publication, which they titled 1¢ Life. Published in 1964 by E. W. Kornfeld in an edition of 2,000 books, 1¢ Life features 62 colour lithographs by 28 iconic artists.
