Significantly, Boston is not the only city supporting the Democratic ticket by means of the arts. On September 21, the Sidney Janis Gallery together with the Pace Gallery in New York sponsored an art sale including a limited-edition portfolio of such pop artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Claus Oldenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns.
