[Untitled] / Reichek, Elaine., 1999
The installation titled "When You See This" in the Projects room of MoMA consisted of twenty-five samplers designed and handmade by the artist. They refer to modernist or contemporary artists with thematic and rhythmic currents connecting the works.The sampler's educational value appeals to Reichek who selected alternative and disruptive text. Artists referred to include Andy Warhol, Ad Reinhardt, Jasper Johns, Chuck Close, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer and Jackson Pollock. Combined with quoted texts of Freud, Colette, Hawthorne, Darwin, Dickens and Maurice Saatchi, the work is a rich, heterogeneous and contradictory melange of historical and fictional subjects. The Sackners saw this exhibition at MOMA. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
