Now this is the business of the National Gallery of Art in Washington. D.C. Please read the article, altho it does deal with what I think was your complaint. It seems to me that the gallery wishes to see art proliferate, as I have stated in my remarks, in order to make it MORE accessible (which is my goal) to people who have not yet had an opportunity to know and enjoy art. It is not an ignoble effort.

Our own National Gallery of Art feels as I do. I invite you to take it up with them and tell them, as you have told me, that no, they are wrong.
