[Untitled] / Etheredge IV, Lee ; Richard F., 2003

 Item
Identifier: CC-40244-42215
Scope and Contents

Frances Richard contributed an essay to the catalogue, "The warmth of language/ the chill of type," in which she points that Etheredge's work is highly influenced by his scientific background (B.A. in zoology and M.D. degrees).

The Sackners purchased two works depicted in this catalogue, viz., "Breath," a typewriter piece and "Oblique," a calligraphic drawing. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The brothers are continually and flamboyantly fencing in whole spaces with display cabinets or drawing blocs, as well as series of prints, in order to structure the architecture more clearly, to mark a kind of contextual parenthesis here and there, or to underscore the parity, that is to say, the serial aspect of their work.
