Poetic Obituaries: Grace Hartigan, one of the New York painters

associated with poets John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and Frank O'Hara in the 1950s during the early days of their careers, died last Saturday, November 15, at the age of 86. Hartigan's closest connection to the New York School of poets materialized in her personal relationship with Frank O'Hara throughout the ‘50s and the collaborative poem-posters they created, particularly a series of one dozen Hartigan artworks concerning text by O'Hara and with the words incorporated into the paintings.
