A rare announcement card for a production of 'Social Intercourse: Pilgrim's Progress' - a 1982 production by the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, featuring stage designs and a poster created by Keith Haring.
This production was the first of a series of collaborations between Jones and Haring in the 1980's that explored themes of social issues, race, sexualitiy, mortality and the political climate of the time.
The pair first collaborated on 'Long Distance' (their 1982 duet), then Haring famously painted Jones's naked body in 1983 (under the auspices of the dealer and gallerist Robert Fraser for his Haring show in London) and 'Secret Pastures' in 1984 (in which Haring crerated the stage design).
This example was posted to the renowned art lawyer, Jerald Ordover, with the printed postage label, verso.
Bill T. Jones is arguably one of the most socially, politically and emotionally compelling choreographers alive today and his collaborations with Haring in the 80's resulted in some of the most recognised imagery of the era.
