Wilson, S. Clay. Memorial for Allen Longstreth. 1990. Original ink, blue pencil, and white-out on artist?s board with black borders. Image depicts two demons in a bar, talking to a demon bartender: ?Where?s Al? Downtown?? ?Uptown?? Beneath the artwork is an invitation to Longstreth?s memorial service: ?Memorial for Allen Longstreth. The Uptown 200 Capp S. F. 6?00 P.M. - June 5. To Infinity.? Beneath the text, Wilson has inscribed this to his friend and neighbor, Marilyn: ?To Marilyn - S. Clay Wilson May 1990?. Sight of drawing, not including black border: 9 ? x 6 ??. Framed. Frame size 10 ? x 8 ??. Drawing a bit toned. Fine. An unusual drawing, not only reflecting Wilson?s distinctive style, but also a hint of sadness in the bartender?s face and attitude. Not examined out of frame.
