Vermeer's Window was created for projection on the cyclorama in the large-scale group dance Vermeer Variations at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, March 20, 21, 22, 23, 1986, and subsequently performed in New York in 1987. Choreography by Jessica Fogel. Music: The Vermeer Variations by David Borden. In 1987, Jessica Fogel "distilled a solo from the work, which featured one of George's projections of a Vermeer stained glass window. Entitled Woman with a Pearl Drop Earring, this solo dance has been performed nationally and internationally for the past 20 years, in such places as NYC, Japan and Greece." (Jessica Fogel, letter to Ronald Vance, December 30, 2008).

Vermeer's Window is one of a series of paintings I made for use as scenic projections for "Vermeer Variations," a dance work choreographed by Jessica Fogel, for which David Borden wrote original music with the same title -- "Vermeer Variations." The work was premiered at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1985 (sic).
