Frank Stella, the great artist passed. I met Stella probably in 1990 with Mrs Ernst and Virginia Dawn. We went to a garage that was like a car repair joint. Two volunteers Jennifer Wachtell and Jill Revson had signed up to see if we could do an art show in the village with the "biggies.". Well, in short, New York's finest artists all showed up with a donation of a piece of art. Leo Castelli, a giant in the fight against the death penalty was there. First visitor to the open show in the village was John Mc Enroe, my fav tennis player. Botero of the big folks statues was easy and sweet to deal with. I went to his apartment to get his art piece and I got to ask him re those "big people" in his art and statues.

Jennifer and Jill organized a grand meeting and all that talent of art in nyc came together to celebrate each other and the donations of art to Amnesty. I got to meet Robert d"Nero and his dad who was added a piece of art as well. Jennifer and Jill sold all the art that came in. Complete success

I believe in the arts to move the agenda of human rights. These folks understood that and gave generously.

Thank you Frank Stella, RIP
