...overseers felt that if they were going to help clean the kitchen, they were going to have to help make the soup," recalls Yale history professor John Morton Blum '43, a former member of the Harvard Corporation...
...some extent deserve, a degree of skepticism. The visitor who wends his way from house to house, seeing the same work by the same fashionable names, trophies of an insecure herd instinct that relies too much on too few galleries, most of them in New York (Castelli, Pace, Blum Helman, Boone, Cooper, Gagosian), is bound to feel dyspeptic.

Perhaps only in America, where the cultural role of depictive drawing was so quashed and ghettoized by a quarter-century of "official" abstraction, could Katz be seen as a draftsman of any special quality. One would not wish to begrudge him his work with absurdly exalted claims of kinship with...
