I would like to join my colleagues , e.g.Berger, Goodman, Irvine, Phillpot, Seckelson, and others, in expressing great sorrow at the passing of Wolfgang Freitag. From the earliest days of the founding of ARLIS/NA he has contributed his wisdom to its growth and development. The field of art librarianship is far better off for his contributions. Wolfgang was unique in being a scholar and a gentleman and a friend. I personally enjoyed my contact over the years , with Wolfgang and his wife Doris. I am sure that you would join me in sending condolences to her and to their family.
