Paved, Run-Over Car, Carter Osterbind III, intaglio
Standing figure of Bear Bryant wearing dark jacket and khaki pants.
Black and white image of a room within which are visible a chair, a door, against which is propped an ironing board, and a dresser atop which are perfume bottles and a framed headshot of a woman. Upon the room's walls and ceiling is the upside-down image of the surrounding neighborhood, created by the artist by turning the room into a camera obscura.
The predominant image, a photolithograph of two girls posed in a rowboat, set within a gold-lined oval, is centered within the top two-thirds of the sheet. Running horizontally along the lower half of the sheet, four inches from the bottom, are five hand-drawn fortune cookies. The center cookie is partially obscured by a red negation sign.
