One of the earliest documented performances by an American artist, Red Grooms is believed to be shown here with the African-American painter, Bob Thompson--Grooms in white-face; Thompson in "black-face." Vintage prints by Cohen (b. 1932) are rare, as are images of this pathbreaking Performance piece.
