    THE DATES

    The date and deadline fields say 5-10-87, the cutline says 5/29. We note it rather than smooth it over.

On the verso

The back of the print is the provenance.

Every photograph here left a newspaper's library with its paper trail still on it: the caption sheet typed on deadline, the wire slug, the photographer's credit, the date stamp, the grease-pencil crop. We show both sides because the back is how you know the front.

  • i.Original press prints only. No reprints, no reproductions.
  • ii.Described exactly as the verso reads. Where the dates disagree, we say so.
  • iii.One of each. When a print is gone, it stays in the record.
The Record

Gone, but kept on the wall.

The first print leaves the wall this season. When it does, it is recorded here.

The Galerie hangs on the back wall of the room, November 1 to December 31.
