About the "Together" edition:
The hand additions vary across the edition. For comparison, see other impressions in the Evolving Composition Diagram below. Bourgeois and the publisher designated each impression in this edition as a study. (Usually in this catalogue, the term study describes photocopies and tracings that were used in the process of developing a composition.)
About the "Hang On" illustrated book edition:
Of the announced edition of 9 unbound and 12 bound, only 9 unbound examples were realized.
There are varying hand additions across the edition of illustrated books. Impression number 5/9 was also available for examination by MoMA cataloguers, but was not available for reproduction. In that example, plate 10 has blue watercolor gouache, red and black crayon, and pencil additions. - Impression:
- "Study 10/12" lower center sheet verso, pencil, artist's hand.
- Curatorial Remarks:
- The color of the hand additions and paper type could not be fully documented because this work is not in MoMA's Collection and could not be examined in person.
- Description:
- Soft ground etching, with watercolor, colored pencil, and pencil additions
- Inscription:
- "Together" lower left margin, pencil, artist's hand.
