Abstract Expressionists Commemorative Stamps

The abstract expressionists are being recognized by the US Postal Service in the latest issue of commemorative stamps. I think i will frame my sheet. I couldn't get my scanner to work properly so i am missing the complete outline of "Achilles" by Barnett Newman (but you get a corner of it).
"In celebration of the abstract expressionist artists of the 20th Century, Art Director Ethel Kessler and noted Art Historian Jonathan Fineberg (Gutgsell Professor Art History, University of Illinois at UrbanaāChampaign) selected ten paintings to feature on this colorful pane of selfāadhesive stamps. Kessler used elements from Barnett Newmanās Achilles (1952) to frame the stamps. The arrangement of the stamps suggests paintings hanging on a gallery wall. For design purposes, the sizes of the stamp are not in relative proportion to the paintings. The pane also features selvage text and a quotation by Robert Motherwell. Each stamp includes the artistās name and verso text that identifies the painting and briefly tells something about the artist."
