H.G. OLLENDORFF Inc. FINE ARTS DIVISION: TRAVELLING EXHIBITIONS PACKING AND SHIPPING 10-15 FORTY-FOURTH AVE., LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK, N.Y. 11101 TELEPHONE: (212) 927-8200 CABLE ADDRESS: OLLSPED TELEX: 12-7479 July 26, 1973 Mrs. Barbara Chase Riboud 199 Rue De Vangirard Paris 16, France Dear Mrs. Riboud: As per instructions of the Betty Parsons Gallery, New York, we would like to give you our estimate for transportation charges of 7 cases containing sculptures and drawings to be shipped from the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, Indiana to the Galerie Merian, Krefeld, Germany. Inasmuch, as the exhibition should be in Krefeld for the opening of the Cologne Art Fair on September 29, 1973 and the closing of the exhibition in Indiana is on August 26, 1973, we suggest air-transportation to Germany. The charges would amount to $3,200.00 If you would ship by boat, the charges would amount to approx. $2,850. The advantage to ship by air would be that we have direct flights from New York to Cologne and the shipment could be trucked from the airport to the Fair in Krefeld. By shipping by boat you have land-transportation from steamer's arrival, Bremen to Krefeld and we are afraid that the deadline for the opening of the exhibition cannot be met. We assume that you would like to have the shipment in Krefeld a few days before the opening on September 24, 1973. Please let us have your decision, as soon as possible, so that we can plan accordingly. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Sincerely yours, H. G. OLLENDORFF, INC. Hans G.
