PMFJI: My memory is not what it once may have been so maybe someone
else who saw the exhibit can chime in: sometime between say 2000 and
2004 or so there was a major exhibit at the ICP in New York City of
the Dream Street project and the walls were lined with Smith's prints.
My current memory is that I was not at all impressed by the quality;
they reminded me of my feeble attempts at printing when I was in high
school. And its not like I've never seen a good print by a master
printer.....
