Susan Baker Memorial Museum
Absolutely love Susan Baker! Found these again while sorting through boxes and remember the day we visited the museum as if it were yesterday. At that time, the late 1980s, when Lyme disease was ramping up in Connecticut, ticks were more an annoyance than a prescription for long term illness.
We were touring Provincetown on Cape Cod with another family and on the way home, happened by the Susan Baker Memorial Museum. Basically, it's her house, with an enclosed porch full of light and printed ephemera, all in her own hand. As a mother of three young children, I was so impressed with her productivity. I wanted to stay, to learn, to be her best friend. Instead, I bought a ton of her pamphlets—couldn't afford the wall art—and gave them a prominent place in my studio. I was inspired. Thank you Susan Baker wherever you are!
Oh here you are, still knocking it out in Provincetown!
And here...

Popular Print "The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian" (1980) - Álvaro Barrios (Colombian, 1945-)
The text at the bottom translates (via machine translation) to: "Describe here a martyrdom of your invention. You can draw inspiration from the real martyrdoms currently suffered by all people persecuted for their ideas. They are also San Sebastián. The descriptions or reports will be posted in the Washington Park in Barranquilla starting on March 15, in the La Tertulia Museum in Cali starting on May 6, in the Garcés Velásquez gallery in Bogotá starting on August 8 and in the Pereira Current Art Center starting October 22"

The picture is literally stuck into the spine glue, but someone must have used a baby picture as a bookmark and forgot about it 🥺
