Scope and Contents

Cotter reviews "The Next Word" at the Neuberger Museum of Art to which the Sackner Archive lent 25 books and pictures. Several of the works from the Archive are specifically described in the article including a manuscript by Jack Hirschman, a drawing by Anne Wolf, Emily McVarish's pasted-up words locked inside a metal frame, Paula Scher's "Opinionated Map: Central and South America" in which every inch on the Southern Hemisphere that is jammed with critical annotationt. "Elsewhere, the printed text, often taking a cue from advertising, comes to the fore. Blair Seagram's 'U Temp est Us' uses a sleek sans-serif type, offbeat spacing and shifting character sizes to hide phrases within other phrases." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
