In this collection of works from the end of the 1980s, including 16 works realized between 1990 and 1994, McDermott and McGough, tired of New York lifestyle and fascinated by Hollywood 1930s movies, set back the clock of their existence by a hundred years: in 1984 they showed a series of oils dated 1884 and since then have experimented living in the past. The collection of the works reproduced in color date from 1984 to 1995. The last page of the catalogue carries the imprint Printed in March 1936."
