Did you know about Robert Motherwell?

On Motherwell's death Clement Greenberg the great champion of the New York School left in little doubt his esteem for the artist commenting that "although he is underrated today in my opinion he was the very best of the Abstract Expressionist painters". And I got to 600 in April and May when one night my wife and I were having dinner and the telephone rang.
