Die Pop-Art-Bewegung ist bekannt dafür, dass sie die Kunstgeschichte und die Vorstellung davon, was als Kunstwerk betrachtet werden kann, umgeschrieben hat. Die Verbindung von Larry Rivers mit der Pop-Art und der New York School macht ihn zu einem der großen amerikanischen Maler der Nachkriegszeit.

Larry Rivers war nicht nur bildender Künstler, sondern auch Jazz-Saxophonist, der von 1945-1946 an der Juilliard School of Music studierte. Das Thema dieses Gemäldes spiegelt das Interesse des Künstlers am Jazz und an der Musikszene in New York City wider, insbesondere in Greenwich Village und der Lower East Side.

"Untitled" (1958) ist bemerkenswert, weil es sich seit dem direkten Erwerb durch den Künstler vor mehreren Jahrzehnten im Besitz desselben Eigentümers befindet. Dieses Werk ist der Höhepunkt der Karriere des Künstlers in New York und könnte problemlos in der ständigen Sammlung eines Museums hängen.
