OCTOBER POST from Carole

CORRECTION     I thank you Dana for correcting my note regarding the Sydney Yeager portrait at AMOA. My apologies go to Austin artist/photographer George Krause. I incorrectly attributed his photograph to Chuck Close who is the feature artist in the current AMOA show. George Krause is represented in Austin at the dBerman Gallery. MUSEUM NEWS    Last month on National Public Radio I heard that a Graham Green unfinished and unpublished novel was discovered. Guess where? It was found in Austin in the University of Texas HUMANITIES RESEARCH COLLECTION (HRC). I confirmed this with director Tom Staley who had associate librarian Richard Workman call with details. The initial collection was acquired from the author before his death in 1991. It is a mystery story to be published in serial form in an English magazine that I believe is called The Strand.    Did you know that the erudite and enthusiastic new director of the BLANTON MUSEUM OF ART contemplated a move to Austin many years ago?
