Paolozzi described this portfolio as 'a kind of combined autobiography' and credits Chris Prater from Kelpra Studios with 'reinterpreting a series of collages into a sound homogenous graphic [that was].. highly innovative, highly inventive, or, in some cases, another art form.' The images in As Is When are considered by many to be the first Pop masterworks of screenprint in this country.
