Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Golden Horn Drawing from the Amerika Series

1989
United States
Graphite and metallic ink on paper
8″ x 5 1/4″

Graphite and metallic ink on a book page from Kafka’s Amerika.

K.O.S. stands for Kids of Survival, South Bronx teenagers with whom Rollins collaborated in the 1980s. This is a small example of the larger group works they created, layering pages of books with painting, often abstract, then making grids of those pages. For a time, their work was a mainstay of both activist-artist collectives and blue-chip galleries.

Signed and dated.

Frame is 13″ x 10″ x 1/2″
