Akiba

Harold Jacobs

This piece plus 1983.9.2, with the same title, are part of series of 250 mass-produced individually created collages. They are named after the Akiba Hebrew Academy in Lower Merion where Jacobs led a group project to create the artworks as part of a fundraiser for the school. Assembled in his studio, Jacobs had the Akiba students do the final stitching and attach a red stick to the center of each piece.
