Letter from Eve, 1995

 Item — Box 187: [Barcode: 31858072459575]
Identifier: CC-09881-10077
Scope and Contents

The image in the center of this work depicts a collaged reproduction of a renaissance painting of Adam and Eve with their hands on an apple. This is surrounded by linear calligraphic markings formed with black thread embedded in the paper that covers the object. A larger calligraphic mark formed with thicker brown thread simulates a large letter beginning an illuminated manuscript. Calligraphic markings at the bottom of the Adam and Eve image act as a "caption" for the painting. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Letters to a Friend Writings & Drawings, 1939 to 1980 / Reps, Paul., 1981

 Item
Identifier: CC-39335-41285
Scope and Contents

This book is a scrapbook selection of Reps' books, drawings, and correspondence. The printed poems on translucent rice paper almost appear to be drawings. Page 73 reproduces pages from Reps' American Fabrics book, a work held by the Sackner Archive. Aside from the drawing, the major difference between the trade edition and this limited edition book is the quality of the handmade paper for the silkscreen prints. In the deluxe edition, heavier paper is used and the threads within the paper are more visiable. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
