signed by artist, bottom right in black ink: Robert.; by artist, across bottom under image: Dec 19.94 / Dear Sarah—So soon it’s the end of / the year. It has the big shadow of / Pablo’s life and death for as long / as I’m around. The show has its / own road ahead of it. I am glad— / it sort of pulls me along and at / the same time pushes away—from me. / I want you to know how much I / understand your commitment to my / work—how your sensitivity to all the / images created a book and a show: MOVING OUT / It has given me pleasure and support / I salute and I thank you
