...comprising thousands of paintings, all closely documented and indexed. Still's canvases rarely find their way onto the market. He will not sell them except to the few collectors and fewer museums he approves of (the average U.S. museum, in Still's view, is a "glorified comfort station"), and until now there has been only one place where Still's work could be seen in any depth: the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, to which he gave a group of 31 paintings...
