| My
biggest was the feeling of giving away four years of paintings. Only my
collectors knew where but anybody passing by could have one. During the
distribution, we re-authored each painting, putting our signatures to
their backs. When talking with the participants one year later, each had
a different story to tell about what had happened. |
Archive
begun 1993. Wall St. and Broadway and in Sandra Gering Gallery. 23 paintings
offered. 21 given away. 8 went to strangers who happened to be passing by.
13 went to previous collectors. Only one of the collectors has continued
to purchase work. The two paintings left unclaimed went into the archive.
Project cannot be repeated. Archive in the Jedermann Collection, N.A.
