Edition Information:
There is 1 known variant impression of component no. 14, outside the unique fabric collage "Eternity." The variant impression is a component in the unique fabric collage "The Long Night," which can be seen below in the Related Works in the Catalogue. The impression in "The Long Night" includes black ink additions that delineate lines of texture within the figure.
Curatorial Remarks:
Each of the 14 components of the collage, which are printed on individual fabric sheets, are sewn onto the overall fabric sheet. The outline of the clock and the clock's hands are composed with brown thread stitched into the overall sheet. The numbers around the clock and the center point of the clock are stitched in red thread.

The plate dimensions of this impression could not be documented because this work is not in MoMA's collection and could not be examined in person.
