In this print, Sara Greenberger Rafferty intervenes in a still of Madeline Kahn with stains reminiscent of blood, saliva, and tears, and pencil lines that trace a pair of glasses around the actress's obscured eyes. The resulting image, decidedly ghostly, hovers between photography, collage, and watercolor.

Sara Greenberger Rafferty's work is inspired by myriad sources, including popular culture, television, photographs of singular performers, and alternative color theories. She explores issues of feminism with a great deal of humor and wisdom.

A graduate of the Columbia University School of the Arts MFA Program, Greenberger Rafferty has been championed by the likes of Roberta Smith, the New York Times art critic, amongst others. She has been the subject of well-received solo exhibitions at MoMA PS1 in 2006 and Rachel Uffner in 2009, and has more than 5 exhibitions opening around the world in the coming year. Her work is included among the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
