1721. Do you have an old Tadao Ando print from 1983, from the exhibition
he (or she) held at AXIS gallery in Tokyo?

Yes, I've had that since 1995. I think I found it in the garbage or at a
garage sale in Syracuse, New York where I went to graduate school in English
in 1995, 1996, and 1997. It's a good print, it looks like a structure built
on a hillside. I know I can mention it honorably because Tadao Ando
published it on purpose, asking that it be looked at, and if people so
desired, discussed. I know there is no exploitation or thievery involved.
I'm not expropriating from Tadao Ando. It's a nice picture and one of the
few prints I've kept for a long time. It's very basic. I also got the
Norman Parkinson picture "New York New York" mounted from the same garage
sale. I scribbled on the Parkinson print, things like "Smoke Camels" and
whatnot, little scribbles. Yet some people who have art careers and have
praised or insulted G2K, I won't talk about them in this book, as I want
neither to help nor hurt them or otherwise reconnect to them.
