Ah, Ryan there is no color version. Either in life or on any roll of film in my stock. This wrapping, in 1980, was not in color. That aside, if it had been I still would not have shot it in color. Personally I really dislike all his stuff, but most especially the Central Park thing .. nothing has ever been improved visually by any of his things that I can see and I view the Central Park as an assault on the park. The orange is particularly offensive, I think. Partly because they use orange fabric of some sort to wrap scaffolding around buildings here when they are working on them. But I probably shouldn't have said this before others looked at my photo :) ann
