I enjoyed contributing to this book. "I was captivated, for instance, by Sloane Crosley’s portrayal of Sarah Newmeyer, a peppy Memphis gal who became MoMA’s first publicist..." Captivated! It's her, not me...Sarah forever: nybooks.com/online/2025/02…

Never in my life have I been so thrilled to disagree with Groucho Marx. Warmest congratulations to the centennial class of Guggenheim fellows and eternal thanks to The Guggenheim Foundation. #guggfellows2025
