Wallace Berman "Semina 2"

Semina 2 was edited and published by my father, Wallace Berman. Suzi Hicks is the cover girl, and Wallace did the cover. Wallace was the ultimate DIY artist/publisher/designer. When you look at the cover, I don't think of the 1950s, but more 1960s or beyond that. If nothing else, Wallace was a visionary in his approach to art. He embraced technology but brought it down (or up) to his level. Many people have commented on the I-Phone design and how that image is taken from Wallace's Verifax work with the hand holding a transistor radio.
