Alber's Six Dreams

With this family precedent of celebrating at any time of year a significant holiday like Valentine's day or a birthday say, here is a Pop Valentine found in a recent excavation of my "cave" ("basement" in french).

Alber's Six Dreams                                                                     

A series of wax pencil drawings by Tal Streeter inspired by 
Joseph Alber's famous paintings,"Homage to the Square".  

With the highest regard and the deepest respect, artist Tal 
Streeter assigned his personal winged muse to the bedside of 
the sleeping Bauhaus artist at he end of his long and 
distinguished career that she might breath life into the 
masters dreams. 

The following notes and collection of drawings were the happy 
result.  

__________________________________________________

The Third Dream * in which the monolithic Albers very nearly 
blocks out the whole of the universe. 

The Fourth Dream in which Albers learns to fly and is 
henceforth relieved from the tyranny and the imprisonment of 
the high wall, the paintings borders.

The Fifth Dream in which Albers is garbed in the great sun 
mantle enabling  him to rise in the east and set in the west. 

The Sixth Dream*in which the winged muse causes Albers to 
journey into the endless space of the Universe.

I'm looking for the drawing that accompanied this writing...

Also looking for information on where Tal's Rocking Heart sculpture is in Korea !
