FROM TODAY'S ARTSJOURNAL BLOGS
Thank-you note 

My beloved Hilary died a month ago tonight. I could not begin to thank enough people for saving my life, which is what all of you did by reaching out to me, generously and unhesitatingly. – Terry Teachout



Covid Obit: William Gerdts, 91, Distinguished Scholar of American Art (& my tipster) 

He was a renowned expert on American Impressionism and 19th-century American still-life painting as well as author of more than 20 books on American art, notably his three-volume Art Across America: Two Centuries of Regional Painting 1710-1920. – Lee Rosenbaum



Breakfast With Bill 

When I visited dish-besotted Bill Stern in his apartment in Los Angeles, we would make tea for breakfast in a gray pot designed in the 1960s by Edith Heath. At some aha moment, Bill decided to found The Museum of California Design. He died a week after our last breakfast. – Jeff Weinstein
