Description
A press photograph of Yvaral standing with Marilyn Numérisée, his quantified Marilyn in acrylic at 51 × 38 inches — the typed caption on the photo says exactly that. An 8 × 10 glossy from the analog press-kit era, documenting the man who coined "art numérique" beside the kind of picture he coined it for. The c. 1991 date comes from the seller's listing; nothing on the object itself dates it.
