...assistant customs broker when they return from abroad, translates their imaginative notes into reasonable expense accounts. In between times, she keeps busy collecting the photographs that some artists work from, finding background symbols (the insignia for Soviet Admiral Gorshkov's uniform, Feb. 23, 1968; the collection of birth control pills, April 7, 1967), or arranging sittings when our artists paint from life, as they sometimes...
