The Bus Stop / Michals, Duane; Sackner MA; Sackner RK; Sackner SE; Sackner DR; Sackner JD., 1980
This family portrait was photographed by Duane Michals and titled "The Bus Stop" for the story without words told by the eight photos he selected from the many he took in front of a white New York building. As the Sacker family enters in chronological order and waits for the arrival of a bus, they appear as total strangers to each other with no communication among them. The bus arrives, they get on and it remains a mystery whether they ever made contact with each other. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Thinks We Believe When We Believe We Know / Dezso, Andrea ; Sackner MA ; Sackner RK., 2010
Andrea Dezso takes the leitmotif of her life - an artist caught between civilizations - and gives it to us in crafted form. The entire body of her work, from the drawings and fragments of her journal, to the cut-out silhouettes, to the ceramic figures, to the needlepoint and kitchenware, is the material for a gigantic story: part fairytale, part diary, part chapter of world history. The total picture is so sad, magical, melancholy and hilarious that it couldn't possibly be true. but it is. Morgan Meis contributes a descriptive essay of Dezso's life and work. The Sackner Archive is listed as holding her pieces. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
