Hi David:

I've been swamped with work -
students are starving for guidance
and information on African and
African-American art. Kirsten Buick
is writing her doctoral dissertation
on Edmonia Lewis. There's several
african americans in art history and
art studies, including Nanette Bearden's
niece, who's married to Robin Kelly,
an assoc. Prof in history.

As you can see from this notecard,
Nanette is marketing Bearden's work.
By the way, how was the Bearden open
ing at NMAA? Haven't heard from
anyone at the museum in D.C. I
plan to be in D.C. before the year
ends in order to see exhibit.

Beryl Wright curated a show on
Lorna Simpson, which opens soon
