Looking back, I see that's what prompted a lot
of the prints: the Metropolitan Museum's Mezzanine Gallery, under Danny Berger, commissioned
Summer and Turkish Delight; In a Public
Garden was made to raise funds for the Kunstverein, Dusseldorf, where Raimund Stecker curated a show
of my paintings; Books for the Paris Review is self - explanatory; Norwich was intended to raise funds for the Elton John Aids Foundation but that never happened — instead, I made Two's Company for them; Sea was made to subsidise Thames & Hudson, who published the catalogue raisonnĂ©
of my prints and Sunset was made as The Whitechapel
Gift: proceeds to support the Whitechapel Gallery's education programmes.
