Poster, Scenario, Merce Cunningham, Comme des Garçons

This is a Poster. It was designed by Tsuguya Inoue and photographed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. It is dated 1997 and we acquired it in 1998. Its medium is offset lithograph on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

Designer Tsuguya Inoue (Japanese, born 1942) intended these two posters (1997-175-1/2) to be displayed as a set, creating a stereopticon effect. Therefore, we recommend accepting both Merce Cunningham, Scenario, Comme des Garcons and Comme des Garcons, Scenario, Merce Cunningham for the collection.

This object was donated by Comme des Garçons. It is credited Gift of Comme des Garçons.

103.2 × 72.7 cm (40 5/8 × 28 5/8 in.)
