Study of Circles I

Artists

Description

The work is composed of thirteen sheets of acetate. All the sheets except the leftmost are used shiny side down. The sheets are attached together with pressure-sensitive tape (glossy, ca. 1 inch wide) with "hinges" betwen sheets and a long strip along the top. The tape is not smoothed out--there are air bubbles throughout. The sheets are attached to "waxed paper" along the top with the same glossy tape used to assemble the sheets. Pinholes are in the corners of all the individual sheets. The left-most acetate is not securely attached to the other sheets. Smudges are by the artist.
