Dear Greame
The exhibition is going well. Luminaries such as Leon Golub, Tom Otterness, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Peter Fend, Judy Pfaff are now participating in the exhibition. There are ongoing discussions with artists in many cities to bring versions of the show to many places. So I think my idea is working. Stefan Eins, who I brought on to help out , is a go-getter and I think I needed someone to put the energy in at this time. See you tomorrow
Frank
