Dear Mr.Emmerich,

The reactionary tenure of the Senator Jesse Helms is much more an affront to ones moral sensibility in a deep and broad sense than any work sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. His terrorism of the art world is completely foreign to American values.

I beg you to support the enclosed act of defiance by myself and esteemed fellow artists against a powerful and Philistine enemy.

I may add that we artists are not making one penny from these limited print editions. In fact, they are being placed for less than their real worth.
Greetings,
Robert Motherwell
