Scope and Contents This work was dedicated to Sol Lewitt. A leaflet placed at the beginning of this project by Wally Depew states the following with regard to his wife, Linda. "The box and the eight page, single sheet, folded books were cut, folded and formed by Linda. Linda Words Poem was coloured and painted by Linda. The sewed books were sewed by Linda. The whole project was overseen, criticized and approved by Linda. Thanks Fee, you keep the fun in life."

Internet: Masterpieces, the cliche goes, spring fully formed from the dark imaginations of temperamental geniuses moved by intuition, inspiration, and epiphany. Such revelations can certainly fuel the creative process, but so too can auspicious accidents, false starts, or even failures. In printmaking, these occurrences are typically recorded in preliminary impressions known as working proofs. Printmaking thus affords an exceptional opportunity to examine this complex and contingent aspect of the creative process. Yes, No, Maybe looks at sequences of artistic choices by juxtaposing fully resolved prints and related working proofs produced at the influential studio Crown Point Press between 1972 and 2010. This catalogue also provides background information for the proof copies of Tom Phillips Dante's "Inferno" that are held by the Sackner Archive, -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
