Description:

This collection consists of a sample copy of the Visual Studies Workshop Rip-Off Show, including 24 offset lithographs, a colophon, and an sleeve that held the prints. VSW describes the show on the colophon as a "one way traveling exhibition; no return postage, no crates, no frames or glass. The exhibition consists of pads of each of the prints included here to hang on the wall and distribute in any way the exhibitor chooses." The show was an attempt to feature offset lithography as an art form, rather than a means of reproducing work.
