Imperial Cities (Rome, Istanbul, Vienna, Amsterdam), 1994 55" x 55" Watercolor, lithography and collage on paper Collection Patricia Conway and Roger Milgrim (Detail: Amsterdam/Vienna) Imperial Cities, 1994 (Detail: Amsterdam/Vienna) "I realized that in my own work, maps could become a device for layering multiple readings. Since then, they have become a versatile structure for my long-term passions: history, culture, decorative and popular culture. By overlapping systems of information, I intuitively make connections which emerge in a literal and conceptual collage." (Joyce Kozloff, as quoted in Crossed Purposes exhibition catalog, page 16, interview conducted by Moira Roth)
