Note:
Peter Klashorst (1957) was one of the initiators of After Nature (1987-1995), an international art collective that aimed at reinventing painting and bringing art back to society and taking it out of the official highbrow art world. During this period, Klashorst could often be found in New York's East Village art scene, where he showed his work in galleries in Manhattan's Lower East Side, for instance the Daniel Newburg Gallery and the International With Monument Gallery. He hung out with Robert Mapplethorpe, Jeff Koons, and Keith Haring, from whom he received this poster as a gift.
