Dear Mr. Lazare,

I wish to confirm that everything you write about my meetings with the people of the Cultural Center is correct. I am pessimistic about the realization of a Guinan exhibit at the Center, even if we find the sponsors. By the way, this question was not raised by Mrs. Weisberg: Will they make the show if we find the sponsors? When I visited with them this past March I felt that Mrs. Maggie Daley was the only person there really enthusiastic about Guinan’s work. With the exception of a visit, this summer, of the curator Gregory Knight on his way to Austria, I haven’t ever since heard from anyone of the Cultural Center.
Ever since I met Guinan in Europe in June 1972 and decided to work with him, I have tried, again and again through all these years, to find him a good gallery in the United States. I must admit that I did fail to convince my American colleagues to promote Guinan in his own country.
Yes, you are missing something in Chicago. It is right there, available. Grab it!
