  3. Hello Catherine,
    re. Henry Kravis

    I had dinner with Henry and Marie-Josée Kravis maybe 5 years ago at their apartment in NYC. I believe Marie-Josée was chair of the board of MOMA at the time. Henry and I went to Claremont in southern California together but the salient point is that I was number 2 on the golf team and Henry was number 3. He was never able to beat me.

    We had a very pleasant dinner, almost like old times, and they showed me their extensive art collection around the apartment. Now, I’m and artist (I believe I sent you a pdf of my work some time ago) and have received 3 National Endowment for the Arts grants as well as Guggenheim, Pollock-Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Tiffany, and 2
    Adolph and Esther Gottlieb grants and have work in maybe 5 or 6 major museums. In 1987-88 I made 13 large Paintings of Jacob and His Twelve sons from Zurbarán paintings of the same. They were shown at the Addison Gallery of American Art and, incidentally, the catalog for the show was paid for by Frank Stella, who was a friend. One interesting aspect of Jacob’s twelve sons is that, collectively, they represent a whole person, something to which we all might aspire.

    As I was leaving, Henry asked if I wanted to play golf. I said those days are gone as I haven’t played for years, but it was then that the light bulb went off. In all these years he has never bought a work from me and I realized that he never would. If he couldn’t beat me at golf, he was going to win at art. Sad and rather pathetic.

  5. Agree Miss Catherin, so far heading for war. Hope all are praying every day for all the Host of Heaven to stop all the wars. I know I am. So many of our fellow human beings are dying.

  7. Catherine, a big thank you for this M&M show. Two points from my side:

    In late 1990s, I stopped over at Salt Lake City International Airport for my connecting flight to South Dakota. For the first time I realized the local Starbucks shop and my immediate thought was that this was a great business model and I should invest in their stock. But I didn’t do it. In December 2014 I was in Dubai for professional training and stopped by the local Starbucks and my thought was they were oversaturated. Just like you said.I believe on M&M from May 2nd you presented Richard Werner’s article about why the Yen is at a 34 year low. That answered my question from a few weeks ago when I wondered if there is any (geo-) political relationship. Thank you for that.
