According to Baro, "The portfolio of twelve prints entitled Facade were done in homage to Edith Sitwell. The title of each print is the title of one of the poems of the Sitwell suite of the same name." The Facade Portfolio was the most complex and multi-faceted project of Nevelson's (1899-1988) printed oeuvre to this date, achieved with the expert assistance of the master printer and founder of Chiron Press, Stephen Poleskie. Baro 71-81.
