Description

WIM: The Upsidedown Book can be read right side up or upside down, and its 65 pen-and-ink drawings are ones Roman Verostko made by hand from about 1969 into the early 1970s, before he drove pen plotters with his own algorithms as a founding member of the Algorists. He showed work from the series in Minneapolis in 1972.
