拍品專文

"Brooke and I met in 1965 at the Marlborough Gallery in New York. His first job was to establish their print gallery (if I remember correctly, Marlborough had four subscriptions to every print made by Picasso) and I was responsible for their image archive. In 1968, we decided to strike out on our own. Brooke knew Josef Albers very well from his time at Yale. Josef offered to collaborate with us on publishing two silkscreened editions of his iconic Homage to the Square series, one in tones of red (I-S a) and one in yellows (I-S b), each in an edition of 125. He told us that they would be sold out in a couple of weeks and that we were to use the funds for at least a year, or as Brooke would often humorously put it, "I give you two squares, you pay me back in two years." He was right, and the editions sold out in less than a month. This was our starting capital." - Carolyn Alexander
