The abiding interest in technology and popular culture that drew Paolozzi to these places is evident in works like Universal Electronic Vacuum (1967), a portfolio of color silkscreen prints, five of which are now on view in BAM's stairwell gallery. Also presented here are five works from the earlier series 'As Is When' (1965), which features Paolozzi's interpretations of the life and teachings of Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein; and one additional print, Untitled (Silkscreen History) (1971).
