Meeting of the December 19, 1971
Gerald's Place

We began discussing the need for a suggested color layout to indicate to institutions in N.Y. how Cobra work should be displayed. Nelson consented to make up a color layout dealing dealing with dimensions as as well as color so that there will be adequate wall space provided for all the work.

Nelson mentioned that he has signed to have the show in May. I will call Spriggs to see whether the scheduling of shows in N.Y. has been finalized. The show will close on January 6th in N.Y. The question arose as to whether a contract or agreement of any kind needed to be signed by a member of our group.

Nelson read a copy of the objectives that have been mailed to Jeff. It was suggested that copies be sent to all members so that they could read them more thoughtfully. We then moved to the subject of money expenditures. Gerald mentioned that it cost $54.60 to ship Wadsworth's painting which was 7 ft. in size. It was sent railway express including the crating. Shipping would take at least five days or longer because of the holidays.

There is also money due from Dende. He originally received a total of 39 prints. We have received money for 5 prints. Since he still owes money for the remainder, it was suggested that he be sent a bill by Gerald.

It was also established that all posters from this point be sent C.O.D. to galleries etc. We are awaiting money from Brockman Gallery because posters were not sent C.O.D. We then discussed whether we could charge for slides sent to galleries to view posters before ordering. It was decided that we would have to consider it our loss since we could not force payment. In order to cut the cost of making slides we would pay a professional photographer to shoot all the poster prints and Nelson would have 10 duplicates of each making a total of 80 slides.

A bill from Jeff was read. After some discussion it was decided that we should not be paying for the cost of individual materials to produce 100 prints, but that we are paying a portion of the total cost which is 700 dollars. We will be paying the $230.00 agreed
