"I took it upon myself to tell Jan Cox that you and Madame [Suzy Embo] were willing to come and teach sculpture and photography at the Boston Museum School, for a few months, for salary and paid travel. Cox will work on this matter from now on (...). John [Lefebre] sold 2 sculptures this month. He's coming in early June, still worried about the presentation of the mies [Reinhoud's small breadcrumbs sculptures]. Think about it (...). In 1962, Pierre Alechinsky exhibited for the first time in New York, working alternately from Walasse Ting's studio and the iconic Chelsea Hotel. It was John Lefebre (1905-1986) who introduced Pierre Alechinsky's work to the United States and was, for twenty-five years, its ardent defender. A fine document.
