My family grew up in the grand neighborhood of Bratenahl, a suburb of Cleveland. The gated community was fenced in and grand huge homes lined the street overlooking Lake Erie. It´s there my mother, an art critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and Mrs. Gund met. In the last several years I wrote to Mrs Gund, who was a legend in the New York art world. I was slightly afraid, intimidated by her power. A few days later I received a hand written letter from "Aggie" who remembered my mother "fondly" and "greatly sympathized with my struggles" to survive as an artist in New York. She gave me many helpful suggestions, carefully considered, as how I could survive financially and suggested grant foundations to which I could apply. She ended her long legal pad size letter hand written? with "Best Wishes" and "be in touch", "Aggie". What a splendid, refined yet daring woman with a very kind and generous heart. I feel very sad at her passing. There won´t be many Aggies around any more.
