The third known impression of the only state, outside the edition, is an additional variant printed in blue ink. An image of that impression is not available. - Curatorial Remarks:
- The paper type could not be documented because this work is not in MoMA's Collection and could not be examined in person. The plate dimensions are from the variant impression in MoMA's Collection. The sheet dimensions were provided by the Louise Bourgeois Studio.
Several merchandise items were made with this composition printed in red: a baby onesie, an adult T-shirt, an adult tank top, a linen tea towel, and a catch all tray. - Public Collection:
- Tate Modern, London
