Inscriptions and Marks
  • Signed: Bontecou
  • inscription: yes, lower margin, graphite, handwritten, signed, in artist's hand: PP 2-2 Bontecou 1980 [edition numbering: printer's proof 2 of 2, signature, date]
  • watermark: lower margin, paper pulp, compression: The standard catalog specifies the watermark JG for Jeff Goodman, maker of the handmade wove paper on which the edition was printed. It is difficult to construe the roughly square geometric pattern of the watermark as JG, but then, what else could it be?
