(see post from September 3, 2022, Opening at The Pamela Salisbury Gallery). I had two early work in the show. Bathroom Wall and Room with. View of Hoboken both, from about 1976. We were only picking up Room With a View, because Bathroom Wall had been sold. After we wrapped and put the sculpture and the base (with the help of a young woman, Alice, who was working at the gallery), Ben headed back to our house in his car and I went on to the Greatest American Glasses store at the other end of Hudson. They have relatively inexpensive eyeglasses. I bought four pair because I go through glasses on a regular basis. I stopped back at Pamela's on my way back through Hudson to pick up something I forgot to take with me. I bought lunch and ate it on the way home. Later Ben put my sculpture in my heated studio, and we put the base in the Dutch Barn Studio. Ben also helped Cathy (Murphy) with something in her studio, did his regular chores and worked on the storage cage he is building in the Dutch Barn Studio. I need to store4 some things in cabinets and cages because of all the critters that make their homes in that studio.`; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]>
