comments
This collage was left unsigned and
undated at the time of Motherwell’s
death. The inclusion of a fragment from
a 1989 print, The Cavern (Engberg and
Banach 2003, no. 491), which was also
used in c869 and c870, has led us to
date this work to 1990.

comments
An early version of this work was begun
in 1974. In 1990 Motherwell revised it,
adding fragments from a 1990 print,
The Poet’s Eye, and from 1990 proofs of
Window (Engberg and Banach 2003,
nos. 493 and 515).
