Hand-signed, dated, and numbered pencil by Simpson. Published by Pamplemousse Press. Recall (1998) by Lorna Simpson is a silkscreen print derived from a still of her 16 mm film Recollection, created during her residency at the Walker Art Center. Printed on felt and featuring subdued tones, the work shows a woman seated in a diner, pausing with a coffee cup mid-air. Beneath the image, the phrase "Suggesting/listing methods of recall.” appears in typed script. Simpson explores themes of memory, perception, and identity, suggesting how our recollections are shaped by context and subjective experience. This rare printer’s proof is part of a five-print edition, with impressions housed in both MoMA and the Whitney Museum.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
