"A book should be a ball of light in one's
hands." Ezra Pound
Dear Members,
By now you have seen the Getty/BHA
announcement. I add that I have made your concerns known to Thomas
Gaehtgens personally (The GRI), to James Wood (the Getty Trust), to the Kress Foundation as well
as the Mellon Foundation. I have heard from them all (all, that is, except
the Mellon) and they expressed gratitude in learning of our interest.
Personally, I believe, all is not entirely lost and that, for now, we must show
some patience and carry hope in our hearts. In practical terms, we have no
choice.
Best to all,
MAL
