Le Yack - The Resignation — Watergate, August 8, 1974 - Hand-signed

In a paneled living room in heartland America, a young woman sitting on the floor, knees drawn to her chest, watches in silence the gray face of Richard Nixon on the screen of a cathode-ray TV. The American flag is nailed to the wall, the stuffed gazelle head watches from its crest, a bottle of Dewar's waits on the sideboard. Jazz records lie on the carpet like vestiges of another era, more innocent. It is August 8, 1974, and an entire nation holds its breath as its president announces his resignation. The bluish glow from the television screen carves the profile of this anonymous spectator who could be the conscience of an entire generation — the one that believed, that doubted, that finally came to know. A powerful work where America watches itself fall.
