Specialist note

This pair of screenprints was presented by the artist to the current owner, the legal advisor of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, for his role in the negotiations for the permission to use her image in the Reigning Queens portfolio. This photograph of the owner and artist was taken at their first meeting at the Dutch consulate in New York in 1985 to discuss the project.
