I got a letter from Art News asking me to make a statement, along with other artists, about Jackson Pollock's work and what it meant to me. I am not going to do it because the letter said that they were getting these statements from artists to put his work in proper perspective as his work has been appropriated by "formalist" critics who weren't giving it its proper interpretation. Poor shit.

I can't figure Poons out either, but from what I gather he wants to separate his identity from the context in which it has been established. At least he seems to have some idea where the true critical level exists. Not much more to say. Miss seeing you all very much and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Love to everyone,

Ken.
