I went to the American Academy of Arts and Letters to oversee a repair on my sculpture (someone had kicked it by mistake. The repair went well. I also was there to have a discussion with the man who will be making the crate for the sculpture. That was the sculpture, Folded Plywood 19, that the Academy bought to present to a museum. See the previous entry.]]> Annual Dinner and Memorial Presentations at the American Academy of Arts and Letters. See the previous entry.]]> Catherine (Murphy) had nominated Nicole Eisenman for membership to the Academy, and she was voted in. We have been very busy lately. So Catherine called the Academy and asked to be notified if Nicole was coming to the dinner and if so, she would like to come and sit at the same table as Nicole. Nicole was coming, so we went. We arrived at a few minutes before 5:00 pm so that Catherine could go to a members' meeting. I went to the office and worked on my computer and also had a conversation with our accountant. At 6:00 PM, the tributes to deceased members took place. Dennis Johnson was eulogized by Deborah Eisenberg and Wallace Shawn, A.R. Guernsey by Terrance McNally and John Ashbury by Paul Muldoon. Following the tributes, there was a cocktail party. The photograph on this page is from the cocktail party. We took a break from standing around and were joined by the others in the photograph. There was lots of talk about the statement the Academy was putting in the NYTimes about Sexual harassment. There were disagreements about the statement at the members' meeting, but the statement was not to be changed. After the cocktail party, dinner was served. We sat at the same table with Nicole Eisenman, who sat next to Catherine. I sat next to Julia C. Speed, the granddaughter of Henry N. Cobb. Julia works at Luhring Augustine. That is the gallery that shows Tom Friedman, who is coming to Vassar College in a little over a week. On my other side was Peter Saul. I had asked for coffee with my dinner because we weren't going to stay for dessert, and coffee keeps me perky for the drive home.
