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.

Andrea Dezso takes the leitmotif of her life - an artist caught between civilizations - and gives it to us in crafted form. The entire body of her work, from the drawings and fragments of her journal, to the cut-out silhouettes, to the ceramic figures, to the needlepoint and kitchenware, is the material for a gigantic story: part fairytale, part diary, part chapter of world history. The total picture is so sad, magical, melancholy and hilarious that it couldn't possibly be true. but it is. Morgan Meis contributes a descriptive essay of Dezso's life and work. The Sackner Archive is listed as holding her pieces. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This is the catalogue for a retrospective exhibition of Boshoff's work. Boshoff writes that his inspiration for concrete poetry was his passion for crossword puzzles. Boshoff writes (page 23) in an lengthy biographical interview with Warren Siebrits the following: In early 1996, I visited the book artist Robbin Silverberg taking with me a silkscreen print of a poem from KYKAFRICAANS to thank her for the hospitality and kindness she showed me. She didn't seem to like it very much, and suggested we take it to show to the artist book dealer Toni Zwicker.Toni was already quite elderly, but it was amazing to see how excited she became about this work from KYKAFRICAANs that I has made 15 years earlier. As it happened, the great American collector, Marvin Sackner, from Miami, visited Toni's home while we were there.
