Dear Dean
If Picasso made prints on RC, they'd be in every museum Ö which goes to
say that IF the work is good Ö and that is according to the individual
tastes of curators Ö then, yes, it could be in a museum. However, whims
be that as they are, fame and acceptance by others aids their choice.
Sometimes galleries and museum curators know something about photography
but more often not what might make it art ; which again is where the
whimsy copulates with the pocketbook.
Also, I believe it was David Vestal or Ctein, tested RC papers and noted
the improvements have been major and the emulsion and archival aspects
were now excellent.
