Jack of Spades (S. 25)

"Jack of Spades (S. 25)" is a colorful lithograph by Larry Rivers that exemplifies his playful engagement with popular imagery and everyday objects. The work, printed on premium Rives BFK paper, demonstrates Rivers' characteristic blend of gestural abstraction and recognizable subject matter, transforming the humble playing card into a dynamic composition through his layered approach to color and form. As part of Rivers' broader exploration of American vernacular culture, this print reveals his interest in elevating commercial and mass produced imagery to fine art status.
