...example, two Rothko paintings were sold to the Liechtenstein firm of Galleria Bernini (two of whose directors also sit on the boards of four Marlborough shells). The Galleria paid $140,000 for them, of which the estate received $84,000.

In the first of these, the Pacific Heights area, almost all of 146 blight-touched buildings are now com pletely restored...
Marlborough opened in 1946 in three cramped basement rooms at 17 Old Bond Street, London, and now occupies those rooms plus the top three floors of a dignified new building across the street. There is a Marlborough Galleria d'Arte in Rome, and next year there will be a branch of Marlborough in Cologne. In New York carpenters and plasterers are busy converting one entire floor-all 11,000 sq. ft. of it-of an office building on 57th Street and Madison Avenue into what will be known as the Marlborough-Gerson* Gallery...
