Roberta Smith reviews Tom Phillips' exhibition at Flowers Gallery NYC on June 3, 2005. She was particularly taken with the new collage works that "are the stongest in the show." She adds that "They are made with tiny chips of paper cut from comic books and laid on with dense almost scalelike surfaces... The surprise is that anything new can be done with collage or comics. The reward aside from visual pleasure, is confirmation that anything is possible." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

In the section of exhibition catalogs, "Networking Artists and Poets: Assemblings from the Ruth and Marvin Archive of concrete and Visual Poetry" is reviewed. The exhibition, curated by Craig Saper at the University of Pennsylvania Library, focused on post-war collections that circumvented the gallery system with direct mailings, collected in folios, bound volumes, and boxes of original artists' prints, poems, texts pages, books and textual objects and were called assemblings. The designer Greg Baer was praised for his sensitivity to the materials and to the energy of the collectors themselves. Saper's text becomes an explanation for the captioned illustrations and also a rhapsody on these materials. The catalog has a checklist of the 53 items in the exhibition, "just the top of the iceberg of the thousands of items in the Sackner collection." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
