Mark Dion’s two-color photogravure, Paris Disneyland (for Colin de Land), is based on a drawing that Mark faxed to Colin de Land while installing an exhibition in Paris. It’s reported that Colin often referred to the drawing as one of his favorite works by Mark. It’s easy to understand why; not only funny, the work is a cruel duel of two representative “greatest hits” of export for both the United States and France: Mickey Mouse and the guillotine.
