A photograph of a typed list of names on a beige background, featuring 36 individual names, some with initials, organized in two columns. Each name is followed by a period. The list includes various surnames such as Albers, Bengelsdorf, Bolotowsky, and Holtzman, among others. The text is black with a typewriter font, suggesting an official or formal document.

A black and white abstract print featuring a dynamic arrangement of geometric shapes and lines on a light background. The composition includes sharp angles, curves, and a variety of shading techniques to create depth and movement.
A pencil drawing on beige paper featuring abstract shapes with a fluid, organic feel. The composition includes shaded areas with varying intensity, a prominent loop-like form, and a small solid circle. The artist's signature and the year '37 are inscribed at the bottom.
A black and white abstract artwork on a beige background, featuring bold black shapes and lines that create a fragmented, non-representational image. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right corner.

A black and white abstract print featuring organic shapes and scribble-like textures within a square border, signed with the initials "RD" in the upper right corner. The artwork is centered on a beige paper background.
A black and white abstract drawing featuring a chaotic arrangement of lines and shapes with some recognizable elements such as windows and the word "STORM" amidst the swirls. The artist's signature "EMANU-EL '37" is visible in the bottom left corner. The artwork is centered on a cream-colored paper.
This is an abstract black and white drawing featuring geometric and organic shapes intermingled to create a composition that lacks a clear representation of real-world objects. The artwork includes a variety of forms such as circles, triangles, and arrows, with some areas filled in with solid black, hatching, or cross-hatching to create texture and contrast. The drawing is signed and dated at the bottom right corner with the text "A. Swinden '87."
