Every year for the past 23 years we have said to ourselves, we should have special pages for interesting holidays. And every year for the past 23 years we have, having failed once again to put up a page, said, "Oh well, we'll do it next year." Welcome to next year.
We herewith present, for your consideration, a mixture of old master prints, modern works, several contemporary pieces, and a book by Helen Frankenthaler, Valentine for Mr. Wonderful.
