The print collection deals mainly with the works of American artists supported by the WPA program during the great depression of the 1930s. One such artist was Samuel Margolies who was Dr Sackner's patient. Margolies gave Dr. Sackner several of his prints from the period and planned to donate his entire Archive to Sackner but shortly prior to getting everything together, a fire broke out in his studio and destroyed all his works that were stored there. Hersh Cohen, owner of the American prints, provided an excellent essay on his art collecting experiences. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Sarah Schmerler writes about this exhibition, "Martin Wilner's series "Making History" (monthly calendar drawings started in 2002) combines disparate, often disturbing images lifted from current events - George Bush's distorted face, men in surgical masks - with snippets of ephemera like sheet music, making visual sense of a world gone chaotically awry...it's the raw and honest approach to drawing shared by Gabel and Wilner that mades the ferry trip worthwhile." The Sackner Archive holds three of the monthly calendar drawings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The exhibition, which also travelled to the ICA at the University of Pennsylvania, consisted of early drawings by Smith in which she "struggles to transform the written language itself, creating unforeseen permutations -an alchemy of word and gesture." The second part of the catalogue contains drawings related to September 11, the Tower of Babel and the works of Rimbaud, William Blake and Antonin Artaud. There are several shaped, calligraphic poems in the catalogue. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
