"Forgotten Planes began as a private commission photgraphed in eastern New Mexico and in his studio. Pritzker was invited to create a series absent of parameter, which is every artist's dream. After seeing the work, I concluded that such a monumental artistic achievement should be documented for the future via publication, and that the Museum of the Southwest should strive to acquire a portfolio of prints for it's collection. This exhibition and book, together with the Museum's acqusition of eighty-seven of the photographs for its permanent collection, represent the fulfillment of that goal." Thomas W. Jones, Museum Director. (Inventory #: 130324)
