From a review in the Washington Post: Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post Staff Writer, Friday, September 2, 2005:
"THE ART OF William T. Wiley swirls with clues as to its meaning: punning fragments of text (e.g., "one sighs fits all"), symbols such as figure eights and tic-tac-toe grids, recurring motifs such as human skulls and dunce caps, and mischievous pop-cultural and art-historical references. On view at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, "Current Evince: Selected Prints by William T. Wiley From the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Take "Deneb," for instance, a color lithograph that takes its name from the star that appears in the constellation Cygnus and may, in fact, have long since gone out. On one level, it's a pretty straightforward commentary about the ephemeral nature of things. There's a passage of text, reading in part: "the light that touches our faces has fallen for sixteen thousand years -- maybe there's something behind it, and maybe there isn't." Wiley's art, in a sense, is like that light, and he's like the star. After the artist is gone, he seems to be saying, and all that's left is the picture, we may still be looking at it and trying to figure out the joke."

William T. Wiley
William Thomas Wiley (October 21, 1937 – April 25, 2021) was an American artist. His work spanned a broad range of media including drawing, painting, sculpture, film, performance, and pinball. At least some of Wiley's work has been referred to as funk art. Wiley is known for paintings that incorporate sketch-like drawings and handwritten notations.[14] Fan for the A.M., in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, demonstrates the artist's technique. It consists of areas of bright acrylic paint surrounded by drawings and writing in colored pencil. Other public collections holding Wiley's work include the Di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art (Napa, California),[15] and the Honolulu Museum of Art.[16]

This offset lithograph poster was published on the occasion of Anish Kapoor's exhibition "XLIV Esposizione Internazionale D'Arte" at the Biennale Di Venezia from May 27 to September 30, 1990. Hand signed posters by Kapoor are quite elusive.
The poster is two sided as it was published on the occasion of the artist's participation in the 1990 Venice Biennale (the verso has his lengthy biography), and it bears the original folds as issued.
British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor was chosen to represent Britain at the first Biennale of the 1990s. He had been exhibiting since 1980 but it was this show that brought him widespread recognition on the international stage. Sixteen huge sandstone blocks dominated the Pavilion’s main room; they were so heavy that the floor had to be reinforced with supports. Kapoor had started working in stone in the late 1980s and each block in Void Field (1989) has a hole filled with another motif in his work, the powdered blue pigment used in Indian religious ceremonies. The same vibrant tones, which was also inspired also by Yves Klein’s statement bold blue colour, were used in his low-lying slate sculpture, A Wing at the Heart of Things (1990), in the back gallery of the Pavilion; this work is now part of Tate’s collection.
“Venice is an interchange of East and West, reflecting the way Kapoor borrows from both cultures” said Henry Meyric Hughes, British Council.
Kapoor’s exhibition also wove together references to spiritualism and eroticism, with the red slit in the Pavilion's wall, entitled The Healing of St. Thomas (1989), alluding to the saint that doubted Jesus’ resurrection...
