HT2127 - Tiny Prints

Episode description

I remember visiting the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1980s and seeing on display a collection of tiny prints in very large frames. As I recall, they were 35mm contact prints presented and framed in 16x20 matboard. The exhibition was unusual, but watching people view these prints was especially interesting. I noticed that everyone got very close to see the images, probably as close as they were comfortable focusing.
