visible on Motherwell’s studio wall in
photographs taken at the time he began
this series of collages. That poster features a black-and-white photograph of
the chapel over a field of red, on which
the information about the exhibition
is listed.
Motherwell completed nine collages in the Cathedral series during the
summer of 1977, some of which were
revised around 1981 (see c662–c665).
During the early 1980s he also worked
on a large painting based on a similar
motif, Apse (p984).
