The New York Collection for Stockholm was a project initiated in 1971 (and realized in 1973) by Billy Klüver (Experiments in Art and Technology, Inc.) for the creation of a collection of paintings and sculpture by artists working in New York during the 1960s. Selected by Pontus Hultén (K. G. P. Hultén), the collection was eventually placed in the permanent collection of the Moderna Museet, Stockholm. The project was supported, in part, by the publication of this portfolio, which featured prints by 30 artists represented in the New York Collection. The artists donated the prints.The contributing artists were Lee Bontecou, Robert Breer, John Chamberlain, Walter de Maria, Jim Dine, Mark di Suvero, Öyvind Fahlström, Dan Flavin, Red Grooms, Hans Haacke, Alex Hay, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Morris, Louise Nevelson, Kenneth Noland, Claes Oldenburg, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, George Segal, Richard Serra, Keith Sonnier, Richard Stankiewicz, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and Robert Whitman. Prints by Lichtenstein and Hans Haacke are numbered but not signed. Lichtenstein first used the pointing-finger image in 1964 on a poster for the Moderna Museet. The portfolio is housed in a box made of Honduras mahogany designed by Peter Ballantine, with separate lid and base; Printed inside the lid is the title: (The New York Collection / For Stockholm). The portfolio is numbered inside the lid. It includes a title page, which is also numbered (in pencil). Each print is protected by a white (Crane's Bond, extra No. 1) paper folder, with artist's name printed on the front, lower right corner.
