About this work

This print started as a joke. In 1967 Leon Harmon turned a dancer’s photo into symbols, blew it up 12 feet wide, and hung it in a lab office. It went viral after a press event in Robert Rauschenberg’s loft and landed on the New York Times front page. The 1997 version here is a smaller, later print you can see at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
