Comments

A smaller unsigned version of this print was included in an issue of the French magazine XXe Siècle (June 1973, vol.40) along with prints by Johnny Friedlander, Jasper Johns, and Marino Marini. It measured 12 1/4 x 9 5/8 in. (31.1 x 24.4 cm) and was cropped to the edges of the red field with no borders. The reproduced collage element is a fragment of a Korn's lithographic ink label. Some impressions are printed on Whatman paper.
