A fine and near-complete collection of this scarce boxed exhibition featuring the work of some of the mid-20th century's most notable conceptual and avant-garde artists. Founded in 1965 by Marian Goodman, Barbara Kulicke, Robert Graham, Sonny Sloan, and Ursula Kalish, Multiples, Inc., published on a more affordable scale limited edition multiples, prints, and books by the leading artists of the 1960s and beyond.

Complete sets are uncommon to market, especially those that retain the multiples by Rauschenberg and Tom Gormley.

This lot is located in Philadelphia.
