Identifier: CC-13005-13297

Scope and Contents

The image is a hat in the style worn during the French revolution placed on top of a basket decorated with flowers. Finlay captions the image with a quote from Gerd Neumann's book, "Callimachus" (1981). "Seen in this way, the lost CAPITAL, is an envoy; a parody of the now solely burlesque treatment of history in this post-modernism and, as a consequence, a double negation as well, yet without the desirable positive change in values, at least from... the perspective of making history." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
