Mark, I was just telling a friend about watching them unload the flatbed for that retrospective from my office window! Leave it to you, an extraordinarily careful wordsmith, to somehow unintentionally ruffle the artist.

RIP, Richard Serra.

I´m with Glenn. Very talented people can have raw emotional set ups so that you can neither do or say the right thing. I´ve known many a poet who took out his or her fear of the world in such hostility.
