 Item
Identifier: CC-39085-41024
Scope and Contents

The artists sent this contact print from one of their last works that was photographed around Marvin Sackner's birthday. Rimma is the subject with her long, curled hair and her hand holding a red string that penetrates her hair and spells out the word "vita" over her left shoulder. In the letter to Marvin, fastened to the back of the matted photograph, The Gerlovinas write, "Ars longer, vita brevis said the elders, you try to prolong both 'vita' with your profession and 'ars' with your collection." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
