Marx & Berrigan Signed Portfolio "Crime Trial"6/75 Robert Ernst Marx Signed Portfolio "Crime Trial" numbered 6 of 75 with 13 etchings hand printed on Arches paper by the artist and each signed, placed in a cloth covered folio and slipcase. "Crime Trials" In collaboration with Ivan Ruzika, Robert Ernst Marx created this 13-etching, 22-poem portfolio as commentary on the trial of the United States vs. Berrigan, 1968. The significance of this trial is that the courts refused to recognize the moral opposition to the Vietnam War as a legal defense to prosecution for criminal acts of defiance, with the primary example being the Berrigan's raid on a Selective Service office. Measures: 15" x 10-1/2".
