"From 1971 to 1973, performance artist Eleanor Antin staged a series of 51 photographs of 100 black rubber boots in various adventures -- from California to New York City -- such as 100 boots go to church, 100 boots attack a hillside, 100 boots go to a saloon," she told her class. "The photographer was Phil Steinmetz. Antin created postcards of the photographs and mailed them to a community of art world friends and colleagues."
"Although 100 Boots was conceived as an alternative way of distributing art, the resultant 51 postcards were shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1973," she continued. Passed around the class, the postcard in Caydance's collection showed the 100 boots marching onto a bus at Columbus Circle in New York City.
