2 installation in a business-like manner, so they can be turned over to carpenters for installation. (Also serves to give the client confidence) I would hope to get this done for 150 bucks, but am willing to enter in to collective bargaining if more is needed. I need this as soon as possible, as I'll have to make another trip to Fresno soon, and would like to take it with me - say in three weeks? I just sent an exhibit of contemporary Soviet graphics to Charleton College (Minn) for exhibition in the student gallery. I sent with it a somewhat provocative comment to post in the gallery. It is intended to trip the critics before they get in their usual below the belt blow. I'd be interested to know how it strikes you (I admit I'm not a writer. Probly should take a quick refresher course in contemporary communication) I'd be interested to know whether, in your conversations with Andrei Chegodaev, you found out whether he is translating "The Necessity of Art". He told me he was thinking about it, after I sent it to him. Did you get any insight into present thinking among artists? We didn't get much. How was your show in Moscow? Did you have a good time? Are you going to attend the 50th anniversary? Bryon and I may do that, since Holland is arranging these charter flights. Maybe we could get a delegation made up entirely of artists - east and west coast - ? As you see by the address typed in, I'm in Berkeley for a while. My father is dying of uremic poisoning, and I have to be near. Bryon has found someone to run the gallery for us, so in December he is coming down and we will locate somewhere nearer to civilization while I do these commissions. He is painting furiously and selling very well also has a commission lined up. Our best to you, Lila, and I do hope I'll hear from you if not from your old man. You at least are honest, brave, plucky, gritty and literate if not more so....? Give my best to Sam and ask him where the hell he was this spring when he said he would be in Mendocino? Love Emmy Lou
