Identifier: CC-28343-29524
Scope and Contents

This third page from Dante Diary, which is dated from May 10, 1979 to July 10, 1979, mentions Phillips' visit with the Sackners and receiving "good Miami postcards from Sara Sackner." The sketches on its right side depict installation plans for the British Council Show and a standing man wearing shorts viewed from the rear who appears to be in position for urinating against a wall. In addition, Phillips has sketched small drawings of Inferno pages (Una Selva) and a partially completed devil-like figure at the lower right corner. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Bus Stop / Michals, Duane; Sackner MA; Sackner RK; Sackner SE; Sackner DR; Sackner JD., 1980

 Item
Identifier: CC-59858-10002913
Scope and Contents

This family portrait was photographed by Duane Michals and titled "The Bus Stop" for the story without words told by the eight photos he selected from the many he took in front of a white New York building. As the Sacker family enters in chronological order and waits for the arrival of a bus, they appear as total strangers to each other with no communication among them. The bus arrives, they get on and it remains a mystery whether they ever made contact with each other. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
