Scope and Contents
Includes reproduction of El Lissitzky's poster, "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge" as plate No.124. This poster from Lenin-Bibliothek, Moscow is identical to the one held by the Sackner Archive. The poster was viewed by the Sackners at the exhibition held at the Guggenheim Museum October 1992 and the identity confirmed. The reproduction in the catalog fails to show the two black lines surrounding the image. Another poster purported to be an original at Rosa Esman's gallery had a single line. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
