Description

Rare and desirable portrait of ‘the laureate of American lowlife’

Prolific poet, novelist, and short story writer (1920–1994) known for his alcoholism, love of women, and vulgar style. Scarce glossy 8 x 10 photo of Bukowski holding his Underwood typewriter as he finishes off a joint, signed in black felt tip. In fine condition, with a few scattered creases, including one to facial area, and a few surface impressions. An incredible portrait that captures the essence of Bukowski’s life and work, and one of just a scant handful we have ever offered. RR Auction COA.
