It was wonderful to see Caroline at the ARLIS Convocation in Washington D.C. in 2014. We hadn't seen her for a while, though I would hear from Roger Lawson occasionally that he had visited with her either at the Gallery or at her residence, where she was happy. Caroline was a whirlwind of activity and enthusiasm, a model for participation in ARLIS/NA, and a friend with whom I was able to have a few quiet and special talks at ARLIS receptions. She was a gem. Here's a snap of Caroline with Milan Hughston at the Society Circle party at the Bard Graduate Center in New York in 2004 Joan From: ARLIS/NA List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lawson, Roger Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 7:19 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Caroline Backlund (1920-2016) Dear Colleagues, We were sad to learn that Caroline Backlund, whose career in Washington included positions in the libraries of Dumbarton Oaks (1968-1972) and at the National Gallery of Art (1972-1996), passed away on Saturday, February 20 at age 95.
