Additional Details

Corlett notes that, "The shirts were produced for the benefit of Artists Space and were sold at its sixth-anniversary fundraising party, held at the Mudd Club on October 25, 1979. According to Lichtenstein's notes in his records, "The dots are supposed to represent a mirror and this would make the wearer invisible."
