    Hi, just back from Vienna last night. I went specifically to see the exhibition. It was very good and it is a beautiful city. It appears the detailed introductions to the catalogue are not translated so it would be good if your excellent site could make this available at some time. Best regards. George

    George, Thanks for the note. I am not sure I’ll be able to make it to Vienna before it closes (propbably not) but I will take your word for it. The single-work concept seems worthwhile, especially when everybody is cutting cost. Too bad about the translation. Jonathan
