No. 752 (Colored People)
1990

A textured brown painting with stenciled text in black that reads "COLORED PEPLE" at the top, with a misspelling of "people." Below, additional text states "To dream of colored people means you will be comfortably rich 752" and at the bottom "Enjoy it now; darker times are ahead." The text appears to be referencing dream interpretation numbers and phrases.
