1991243886Santa Fe NM: Gerald Peters Gallery 1991. Unpaginated preliminaries 15p. illustrated with seventeen fullpage color exhibit photos very clear including cover images all show Isaac's assemblages these reminiscent of Joseph Cornell's boxes. The Marquez intro runs about 175 words in Spanish with translation to English on following page. The essayists contribute 2 or 3 pages each. Slight edgewear to covers a clean sound very good copy. We infer from the laudatory Marquez piece that he and our sculptress/production designer are friends. The gallery notes let alone their cover text do not announce Marquez' presence in this catalogue --a selling point one would think-- so perhaps it was a last-minute score when layout was already complete.
