[Alt-photo] Re: Katharine Thayer Exhibit in Astoria, Oregon

[Christina Anderson]

Diana,
Thanks SO much for the report and links. So wonderful to see people's work and so much of it is beautiful!

Question: what do you mean by "lobbied really hard;" was there a question of its inclusion in  the show??  If so I am just flabbergasted that there was a question about the tulips, because that image is just glorious. I have always loved Chia's gum work, very elegant, romantic, textural. And white on white in gum is a real eye-stopper.

But anyway, thank you for all the time you took to orchestrate, travel, and report about this show. 

Tom and I passed through Astoria a few years back, never having any idea that that was where Katharine lived. 

I think Robert Adams lives there if I am not mistaken? 

But it is quite the quaint town. In fact, we were towing a boat and boating on the Columbia, and got it stuck in the middle of the river in the sand, in Astoria. Scary, and dumb, at the time. Ate at a quaint "biker" bar, too.

> And Michael sent me these links which are close-ups of all the work that's in the show, so you can go through these, too.  They are amazing.  I'm not going to name names of all those prints I kept staring at, because that would be everybody's-- but I will say that I lobbied really really hard for those white tulips of Chia's.  I don't even know how you do something like that.  I brought up Mother's Day; future birthdays; future anniversaries . . .
