The complete portfolio, comprising ten mixed media prints, 2000, one signed and dated in pencil, inscribed 'AP 7/9' on the accompanying colophon page, artist's proofs, aside from the numbered edition of 27, on various papers, published by the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies of Columbia Univeristy, New York, the full sheets, in good condition, framed, lacking the original portfolio box (11 frames)

The prints are in good condition overall. The sheets have a few handling creases and several have hinges pressing through along the edges. One plate has a sharp crease measuring 6 inches at the upper left corner and one has a diagonal crease measuring 2 inches across the lower left corner. The portfolio comprised ten prints plus the colophon - each is annotated on the verso by the publisher with the artist's name, date and edition information. In this instance the works have been removed from the portfolio and framed separately.
