And let me be the first to say that if you are within a 5000 parsec radius
of Warshington, Dee-See, you should run, not walk, to the National Museum
for Women in the Arts and see hte first-ever American show of Varo's work
(containing over 70 pieces) although not "Borando del Manto Terrestre"
unfortunately. Having been a fan of Varo's from afar for many years, it
was downright amazing to get to see her works in something other than the
admittedly good (but hardly justice-doing) reproductions in the $100
catalogue raisonne that is worth every frickin' penny.

I haven't seen the times yet today, so I don't know what Mark's referring
to, but if it'sa negative review I may have to go pistol-whip somebody.
