Words cannot express the profound sadness we feel for our California neighbors. Very sorry to learn of this additional loss for all the artists and lit folks who would have appreciated Indiana's collection. It is likely the first of many tragedies to emerge from this horror.
Oh no. That is so sad. (Am curious why they did not stay here. Would have assumed it would go into an NY archive, library or university.)
