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 cradling his Underwood typewriter as he finishes off a joint, signed in black felt tip. In fine condition, with a couple mild surface creases and thin band of discoloration along the top edge. A magnificent portrait that aptly captures the essence of Bukowski’s life and work. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
