Renate Kirchner, employee of the factory, and Elsie Speitman, employee of the warehouse of the Hans Mayer Gallery in Dusseldorf.

Unfortunately there were several other inconveniences that I went through, and hospital visits, where they put a plaster cast on my foot, at Dusseldorf, [[strikethrough]] Germany, [[/strikethrough]] London, and New York. Such inconveniences still continue. I must say that in a way I regret that I gave up my Oplanden attic apartment, located in front of the railways with numerous disturbing trains crossing continually. This apartment was otherwise peaceful and silent. (Neighborhood of factory employees.)

I am thinking of several other sounds "as from above" and I don't know if their - reason OF SUCH ENVIRONMENTS were political or financial or [[strikethrough]] what they were. [[/strikethrough'' OTHERWISE -

It is possible that all such experiences related to the commercial side of the art world with its investment values: Gallery groupings and their establishing auction values and prices, which is most likely the case. All of this, of course, with well-planned ahead [[strikethrough]] (possibly) [[/strikethrough]] exhibitions of their own artists (which travelled internationally) all this while I was "placed" in "location" with AS "caused" delays, to work and to experience repetitively circulating sounds programmed, perhaps, for the public relations, of those travelling exhibitions. Such sounds, "dropped" names of American artists and other names of artists of [[strikethrough]] other [[/strikethrough]] different nationalities.

I tolerated all this because I always try to do the best I can do and because of my sincere ambition to have a book of my work published -- [[strikethrough]] having had an agreement to make 26 multiples for this book. [[/strikethrough]]

I would like to know if the books published for my American colleagues or their museum catalogues and other related publications cause those other artists to be exposed to similar conditions and isolation. I was always kept "with plenty of invisible company AS from above" and I was drawn into deeper and deeper isolation, of course with occasional company from reality.
