I was very sad to hear the news via the NY Times about Alvin Lane. I recall how generous he was with his art of Alexander Calder. Upon learning that my choreography A Dancer's View of Calder's Universe was to be danced at Wave Hill, Alvin Lane personally brought his Calder Mobile and set it up for our show. He truly loved the arts, and was amazing to have done this without having met us before the event. May he rest peacefully and know that he was deeply respected and loved for all his good and generous deeds that he pioneered for the arts, including sharing his art collection and bequeathing it so that others can enjoy what he appreciated. My condolences to his widow and family.
