Dear Mr. Strawn:

Thank you for your letter of February 14th in reference to the work of Ad Reinhardt. I have asked Mr. Reinhardt for some color slides of his work, for as you say they do not show up well in black and white reproductions. Enclosed are slides of paintings that are available. They are:

"No. 20-1958" 108 x 40 $2,000.
"Red, 1953" 81 x 60 2,000.
"No. 12-1958" 60 x 60 900.
Group of 3 80 x 40 ea. 1,000. ea.

There are other smaller paintings from $450 up. I hope this will give your committee some idea of Reinhardt's work. I would appreciate your returning these slides when you are finished with them.

Thanking you very much for your interest, I am,

Sincerely yours,
Betty Parsons
