The flock of boots were arranged and photographically documented in a series of settings, moving from the West to East Coast, from urban to rural. Each staged scene chronicled a moment in the "life" of the 100 BOOTS as they went on vacation, to church, and the market, were laid off and moved on. Subsequently each photograph, rather than being printed as a gelatin silver print, was reproduced as a postcard and sent out individually by Antin to an estimated 1000 artists, critics, curators, and writers. In doing so, Antin navigated her own way through the art world and around a brick-and-mortar gallery. By 1973, the last of the postcards were sent as the 100 BOOTS journey came to a close in New York City, culminating in an event at the Museum of Modern Art. A canonical feminist and multidisciplinary work, 100 BOOTS is an amalgam of performance, photo and mail art that pushes the boundaries of traditional markets and institutions via the power of DIY assembly."
