The image depicts an advertisement for an exhibition and sale of works donated by artists to the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts. The central figure is a stylized representation of the Statue of Liberty, with its torch and crown made up of overlapping names of various notable individuals such as Lassaw, Lehmbruck, Leslie, Liebermann, and many others spanning several columns on both sides. These likely represent artists whose works are part of this exhibition.

The background is white, which contrasts starkly with the black image of Lady Liberty, emphasizing its silhouette against it. The text provides details about the event: "Exhibition and Sale," specifying that all proceeds go to a foundation for contemporary performance arts. It's hosted at Allan Stone Gallery located on 48 East 86th Street.

Below this main section is additional information regarding dates of the exhibition - opening from February 25 through March, with an invitation stating: "Opening Feb. 25-91." The gallery hours are provided as well:

"Open Tue. thru Sat., Mar."

The size and dimensions mentioned indicate that it's a standard poster format.

The image conveys both artistic flair in the form of Lady Liberty reimagined through names, coupled with practical information about an art exhibition meant to support performance arts education or initiatives.
