As New, despite dating from 1996. Flawless. These photo frame triptychs boxes were hand assembled by the 'Two Women Boxing' (see below). Established by Julie Cohn and a here-unnamed friend in 1983 in Dallas, TX, Two Women Boxing was a small commercial art and graphics company. Cohn says their first project "involved making very labor-intensive edition boxes for a photographer; I told my partner we should call it (the company) 'Two Women Boxing'. It stuck." The company has been closed since the late nineties, though Cohn continues to work in the graphic design field, under her name. Though the TWB products were always popular, neither Cohn nor, apparently, anyone else is exactly sure why these items are so much in demand as collectibles - it's been a natural and organic process, though the artful skills of the pair, and the current extreme rarity of their output, are certainly major elements in that equation.
