Antin's Making It!, 1971-72, consists of five photo-postcards from her iconic series "100 Boots." In this series, Antin photographed the adventures of 100 black boots travling from the West Coast to New York and reproduced them in postcards she sent to friends. This particular grouping of postcards shows the boots' arrival in New York, including their visit to the Museum of Modern Art. Exhibited and collected widely, including a retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this is the first work by the artist to enter the collections.
