Description
The exhibition poster for Close Portraits at the Whitney (April 14 – June 21, 1981, organized by the Walker Art Center), reproducing Large Phil Fingerprint/Random (1979) — Philip Glass again, this time built from fingerprints. Offset lithograph published by Pace Editions, 38.5 × 26 inches; the caption line on the poster itself documents every fact in this record.
I appreciate this approach to organic pixels using fingerprints.
