detail, "What's for Dinner"




1996












The artist intentionally omitting the question mark from this title making
this dinner party a statement years ahead of "Housewives" on cable.
This tongue in cheek 'situation' has ladies placing all their 'cards' on the table.

An earlier, table-related vertical piece, with longer black gloves stretching
across a card tabe had been previously destroyed by Alma Lesch. (see photo)
