similar ecological environments as I [[strikethrough]] feel [[/strikethrough]] would they have resulted in let's say, "more inspired" art works, and "reactionary art statements""which is the point, that I am questioning, in other words, if their "reactionary art statements" derive from their own experiences of life and art or "technology" or from other artists studied and life experiences, distributed let'say by the mecha. Something strange happened in Zurich. When I had left Germany and was on my way to America one of my drawings that I was carrying with me from the Berlin sculpture project, was unexplainably and aggressively destroyed, thrown in a garbage can by an employee of the Hotel Europa, where I was staying at the time.

To return to the portrayal of art portraits, I had made several artworks of mine which were portraits in previous years of my own choice whom to portray, if you don’t mind reading about it again, but I would still like to know the reason that I was induced to make their portraits as well [[strikethrough]] of "wives", "husbands" and “husbands” etc.[[/strikethrough]]

Now, whenever my right or left foot was stepping in the eastern part of Germany or Czechoslovakia, I would not know the difference. This is because of the way I have [[strikethrough]]had to[[/strikethrough]] lived in New York most of my life. 

It would amuse you no doubt, that my left foot is continually teasing me, while my right foot is hurting!

I am remembering the visit of the late Ad Reinhardt (late ‘50s or early '60s) to my studio, and his friendly remark that my bronze and aluminum casts and plaster tablets did not spell. I am thinking of him tonight in writing this letter that the best way would have been not to spell my letters at all. 

Were all such experiences which "stripped me naked" in my art and life a way to "repair me"? I would appreciate to know if all such experiences were hallucinations.
