Vintage Repros 

This section presents a collection of vintage prints created shortly after the artist returned to the United States from living and working in Nigeria in 1987. In this context, vintage prints refer to impressions produced during the original period of the work rather than prints made many years later. Each image was originally produced as a limited edition of 500 prints. The original drawings for these works were created in Zaria, Nigeria, and later transported to the United States where the prints were produced in Akron shortly after the artist’s return. These prints reflect ideas and experiences that emerged from the artist’s time abroad and the transition that followed. As works from an earlier stage in the development of the work, they offer collectors an opportunity to acquire images that connect directly to an important moment in the artist’s creative journey.
