Photo/Cutout

This shoot was set up at the Polaroid Studios at the Museum  of Fine Arts, Boston, Ma.  1982  It was a tremendous studio.  It took hours to set up the shoot. The technician pressed the button on the Polaroid camera.  The camera was the size of a small refrigerator.  60 seconds later, out came this ”20”x24”photograph.  It was  incredible.  Each print is unique.  There are no negatives.  There were 7,  20” x 24” cameras in the world. Five are still in existence. 

The processes from beginning to end originated in my studio for the Photo/Constructions and Photo/Cutouts.  Yellow Blue is part of the European Polaroid Collection at the Westlicht Museum, Vienna, Austria
