Label TextRay Metzker uses a dual frame in Couplet: Atlantic City, producing a serial image on one sheet of photographic paper. The formal arrangement of figures, shadows, and patterns in each image and the relationships between the two frames is analytically composed, but emotionally expressive.Exhibition HistorySmithsonian American Art Museum (National Museum of Fine Art), Washington, D.C. 1984-86.
