Many of the artists who contributed to the portfolio 10: Artist as Catalyst exhibited at the Alternative Museum.

Description

This print belongs to a portfolio published to support the Alternative Museum, an experimental New York exhibition venue from 1975 through 2000. The space aimed to address inequity in the art world by hosting progressive exhibitions of contemporary art. The year this work was made, public funds were cut, leading artists to rally support by collaborating on a series of original screenprints.
A horizontally oriented screenprint depicts the backs of two dark high-heeled shoes resting on a mottled, textured surface. The shoes face away toward a solid black background, their long shadows stretching across the ground from light on the left. Centered in the white margin below the dark frame, the words "CURE / HEAL" are printed in red, serif capital letters.
