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

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