Thanks Perttu, I was being a little factious with my "at least one
comment". A long time girlfriend of mine made a trip to the Soviet Union
and Egypt a few years ago and while driving back from the airport she
informed me that there a number of KaTe albums floating around within the
'art' communities of both these countries.
QUESTION: Is there anyone around here who collects "National Geographic"?
The reason I ask is this, within the pages of an _old_ issue of National
Geographic is perhaps the most obscure KaTe reference of all time. It
comes in the form of a interior photograph of a peasants house (we are
talking wood slat floors and oil burning lamps here) located (I think) in
one of the Baltic states. What we see in this photograph is a TKI
crossed legged poster hanging on a wall, it's 'kinda off to the side but
impossible to miss once you see it. I really screwed up and did not buy
this mag when I just happened on to it in a used book store, since then I
have looked and looked to avail. The best I can figure the issue was
some where within 80 to 84. If anyone finds it or knows about it
_please_ let me know...
