NOTES: Catalogued 1/96, DZ. "In 1976 Barrow was invited to make a lithograph a Tamarind, the well- known printmaking atelier at the University of New Mexico. In the next six years Barrow made four lithographs, each considerably different from each other and from his photographs. The earliest, Revisions, 1976, illustrates his interest in language, advertisements, copy machines, consumer products, and books. The principal subject is Stonehenge, evident in four diverse examples making reference to, or using the name of the ancient monument. The title referes to several kinds of revision that are seen in the work- visual revision through printmaking as a reproduction, as well as revisions of meaning and associations, and the revision of historical and scientific knowledge." --Inventories and Transformations; The Photographs of Thomas Barrow--, p. 130.
