Each poster was created by the world renowned artist and sculptor and each is boldly signed in pencil "Calder." The one for Ribicoff's 1968 Connecticut re-election campaign for Senator is 23.5x31" unframed, and has additional pencil notation designating it "82" of only "90" made. Calder's agent was a friend of Ribicoff and thus these two posters came to be created because Calder also shared the political views of both men. The "McGovern For McGovernment" is from 1972. This is 23.5x34" in plastic/plexiglass frame. At lower right is embossed small logo reading "Styria Studio Ltd." in addition to Calder's signature in pencil about 3" wide. While both posters are Calder designs, we've kept them as a pair also because of the relationship between Ribicoff and McGovern. At the infamous 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, Ribicoff nominated McGovern for President. Ribicoff went off script and said "With McGovern as President of the United States, we wouldn't have to have Gestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago." The audience, appalled by police attacks on demonstrators, broke into wild applause while the TV camera caught Mayor Daley mouthing obscene, anti-Semitic epithet. Later, in 1972, McGovern offered the VP spot ot Ribicoff after Eagleton withdrew, but Ribicoff declined to seek higher office. In 1976, Calder was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ford, but the Calder family boycotted the ceremony "To Make A Statement Favoring Amnesty For Vietnam War Draft Resistors." Both posters are rare limited issues silk screens, artist signed, and essentially Mint.
