Oldenburg published a limited edition of 150 for publication in the portfolio "Conspiracy: The Artist as Witness", a portfolio created by thirteen printmakers to help fellow artist Pearl Hirshfield raise funds for the Chicago Seven, who were on trial for their anti-war actions at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. This impression is a proof, outside of the published edition, printed by Styria Studio in New York. Included in the portfolio were Alexander Calder, Larry Poons, Jack Beal, Romare Bearden, Leon Golub, Nanacy Spero, Robert Morris, Peter Saul, Raphael Sawyer, Frank Stella, Bridget Riley, and Sol Lewitt.
Sculptor, painter, and printmaker Claes Thure Oldenburg was born in Stockholm on January 28, 1929. His father Gosta was a Swedish diplomat in the United States, stationed first in New York and then in Chicago, where the family joined him in 1936. It was there that Oldenburg attended the Latin School of Chicago, and developed an interest in the arts.
