Description

#287 (pictured center) The background triangles were made in 1980 at CNR in NY, part of a larger painting. I added Steve in 2002 then tore him in half in 2016. Trust: above triangles Control: below triangles Washed over like water in 2018 Each portrait in the installation has notes written on the reverse side. They reference the sitter, the process or what was going on at the time the painting was made. In this installation of over 240 portraits, about 15 paintings had text revealed.
