Sister Corita Kent (American, 1918–1986) Folio
Group includes an original Sister Corita Kent screenprint portfolio, “Sister Corita”, published by Pilgrim Press, Philadelphia/Boston, featuring bold graphic compositions with hand-lettered text and Pop-inspired imagery, together with the illustrated artist’s book “The Besler Florilegium: Plants of the Four Seasons” (Abrams), reproducing early botanical imagery admired for its influence on Corita’s visual language.
The Corita volume includes text by Harvey Cox and Samuel A. Eisenstein and documents Corita’s influential role at the intersection of Pop Art, social activism, and graphic design. The group reflects Corita’s ignature use of commercial typography, saturated color fields, and spiritually driven messaging.
