Re: acetone

Sandy,

I've never been to Texas. I now have a reason to go. Thanks for the
tip. I saw several older color carbro's at the SFMOMA and at the
Center in Tucson. No relief. I was disappointed. I look forward to
seeing the prints at the Harry Ransom Center. I take it I can see
the color carbro's you refer to at the Center in Austin?

For some reason, I just have to see directly with my eyes what's been
done in carbon printing.

Eric.
