Identifier: CC-43246-45305
Scope and Contents

The closing paragraph states, "An interesting side note involves the Miami contribution. Because some of this work was intentionally prefab and repetitive, there are similar models of certain pieces. So when the Getty collection refused to allow 30 donated works to travel for this show, what a surprise it was to find replacements right here: 28 came from the private collection of Ruth and Marvin Sackner, a testament to the significance of local collections." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
