July 7, 1975 Mrs. Ileana Sonnabend 39 Quai des Grands Augustins Paris VIe, France Dear Ileana: I spoke with Jim Rosenquist yesterday in Aspen. Concerning the "F-111", he said that there are 15 pieces in all, each piece 5 x 10 feet weighing approximately 10 to 20 lbs. He thought that they should go 3 pieces to a crate. So that therefore there would be five cases. Then I called Santini to get an approximation of weight per case. Of course this is difficult because the wood which the cases will be built of is unknown and that of course affects the weight. Also the actual weight of the pieces is not known. At an outside guess they figured 50 to 100 lbs. for the three pieces and 250 to 300 lbs. for the cases. So at an outside figure each case would weigh 400 lbs. I hope this information will be useful to you. I spoke to Gene Swenson who did the interview with Jim and he says he thinks I should have that by the beginning of next week. I will send it on to you immediately. I hope all is well with you. My best,
