- Curator's comments
- The year was 1989 and the good times were in Japan. Brimming with confidence Toshiba published a set of three volumes assessing the achievements of the Toshiba International Corporation in the US. Essays entitled 'Houston from now on', 'Happy Marriage', 'Toshiba=Copier', & 'Strawberry Fields Forever' coupled with scenes from the staff cafeteria with guys drinking champagne at 4:30 in the afternoon were clearly intended to impress Japanese management. Tsukiji Jun and Lewis Baltz were asked to contribute twenty plates of a more serious nature from Toshiba laboratories. No explanation of the plates is given. The present publication was not for sale. Only one copy in OCLC. (Titus Boeder, 4/07)
