Est: $1,200 - $1,800
HOKANSON, LARS. 1942-2012 FRANCES CICHETTI. Watercolor, gouache and ink, Lion/Lamb, comprising three states: preliminary rough, and finished painting, with printed New Yorker cover, March 18, 1996, 267 x 191 mm; 387 x 244 mm; both paintings signed lower left, matted and framed as a triptych. A clever trick picture on the old cliché as the lamb emerges from the face of the March lion. The artists submitted their cover concept with several preliminary roughs to The New Yorker art staff and then completed what they thought would be the published art. Instead the art director went with a preliminary similar to this one. The finished art is the central panel of this triptych. Hokanson and Cichetti sold a second New Yorker cover later that year.

Est: $1,000 - $1,500
HOKANSON, LARS. 1942-2012 FRANCES CICHETTI. Original woodcut, colored in gouache, Cooking with the Dead, cover design for Grateful Dead cook book (New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1995), 216 x 216 mm, artist’s proof signed and dated by the artists, matted and framed. The popular cookbook of more than 65 kynd and caring vegetarian recipes were aimed toward Deadheads as they pursued their favorite band on the road. The cover art reflects the Sixties Spirit with its bright psychedelic colors and its homage to old fruit labels. Author Zipern spent five years following the Grateful Dead on tour before writing the book. After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 1967, Hokanson became a successful freelance illustrator well known for his striking woodcuts. He originally teamed up with his wife Lois; and after she died, Hokanson often partnered with artist Cichetti.
