Dear Jeffrey,
Preparations are for Take Home a Nude are fast and furious. I just finished the curation and it's going to be a
knockout show. We would be thrilled if you would come.
Here's some EXCITING news, Francesco Clemente just donated a truly beautiful piece for the auction. It
is "Untitled," 18 x 24", watercolor on paper, 2008, estimated value of $65,000, starting bid of
$30,000. (See below.)
Knowing of the circles you travel in, I wanted you to have a preview. I thought you might have
some ideas of people who could be interested. These kinds of things don't come up for sale
that often. And, of course, a successful sale would have an enormous impact on the school.
Best, David
PS — The live auction will also feature other works by artists like George Condo, Will Cotton, and
Pat Stier. I'll be sending a preview email shortly.
