Untitled "Cowboy Girlfriend" (Gang)
1988

A collage of various images and handwritten notes, predominantly in red ink. The images appear to be thematic, focusing on cowboys and horses, with some featuring individuals in cowboy attire. The notes contain a mix of words and phrases such as "POLICE," "COWBOY and GIRLFRIEND," and "IRON HORSE," along with annotations about the images like "to red more blue" and "REAL HORSE." The overall impression is of a brainstorming session or a creative project in development.
