I cannot pretend that it is a self-sufficient, self-explanatory artwork. It is just a lot of bits and pieces, fragments of an autobiography which tells itself indirectly, by means of exhibits-exhibit A, exhibit B, and so forth; dug up for display in a museum (if you wish to study the past) or a courtroom (if you hope to convict the author of hitherto unpunished crimes). "If I am in a museum, I am beyond excuses; the past does not have to excuse itself. If I am in a courtroom, it is the business of someone else to defend me. So I will try hard to avoid self-excuse, as distinct from critical comment, in my notes on this material. "Exhibits should not be tampered with, I have made very few cuts, all of which are acknowledged, and done absolutely no rewriting. " d/w. price clipped. Fine.   Price: $35.00
