Exhibition Label: "Rockne Krebs: Drawings for Sculpture You Can Walk Through," Aug-2013, Steve Goddard “In 1976-1977 Krebs was in negotiations with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. regulator for lasers including those in public places,” explains Philip M. Smith. “I helped him in the negotiations. The title refers to the rule the FDA eventually issued. Krebs presented me with this collage on conclusion of the negotiations. We prevailed with the FDA.”
