ARTWORK SAGA 14:

BUTTERFLIES
San Juan, Puerto Rico
1978

I was on vacation when I came across this place called "The Butterfly People." It was in an old house with a high courtyard filled with preserved butterflies. I was transfixed.


You could order a selection in any size and configuration. I called Ed and had him measure the space above the living room fireplace. While selecting the butterflies, I asked for an addition of a red one to the selection I had already picked out. "Oh, No," was the reaction. "That's a South American butterfly. You can't mix them with the African ones you've already picked!"

I got a wonderful, hermetically sealed 27" x 43" display.
