EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



cultural world to which we belong, and will remain a source of strength and beauty in the years to come. For the future, we look forward to an important and significant work by one of our great contemporaries, the Italian sculptor Mirko, who even now is at work on the great full-scale model of a monumental bronze which will be placed in front of the museum, and which will bring the exterior architectural design to life in a new and exciting fashion. All of these things are appropriately celebrated in this, the first exhibition of works from our permanent collection, in the

new museum. Every work of art responds in an individual way to its surroundings, and it is a not unfamiliar experience to discover new qualities in familiar works when we see them in unexpected places. I am sure that all of us will gain a richer insight into such works, as well as totally new experiences in connection with certain very recent acquisitions, as we see them in their new and splendid surroundings.
