I Wish I Would Have Known

15 x 7 inches • 10 unnumbered copies.  Hand set in Goudy Hand Tooled metal type.   Image silk-screen printed on Rives BFK paper.  $40.

This broadside was conceived and printed at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design in a silk screen class during my sabbatical year.  The text by Wm. T. Riley was fresh in my mind because he had a show running at the Walker Art Center at the time I received this assignment.  I wrote to him asking permission to use the text and he send back a kind note granting use.  He even requested that I send him a copy of the work.
