Larry Rivers — Jack of Spades
Larry Rivers

Jack of Spades

A bold and energetic lithograph by Larry Rivers, *Jack of Spades* reimagines the familiar playing card figure through the artist's signature blend of gestural mark-making and pop-inflected imagery. Rivers fragments and layers the iconic court card with loose, expressive lines and vibrant color, reflecting his interest in merging high art with everyday cultural symbols. Printed on Rives BFK paper, the full sheet preserves the work's raw, spontaneous quality that defined Rivers as a bridge between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.
