Lowry Sims

He sort of left New York at a crucial period in his career.

And he put the concerns of his family first.

I mean, I sort of like, you know, kind of figured out that I probably gave the painting to someone who admired it.

You know, I can't remember who because, you know, because it was certainly too big for my little apartment.

And I think I told Fred, you know, like about that.

How it ended up where Maya found it, I don't know.

I just can't remember who I might have given it to.

Well, you know, there's a saying that

that 98% of all the art created in the world since the beginning is gone.

I think it's totally random.

I mean, I guess that's why we have museums, you know, because they can be seen as...

places where these things can be safe.

But I mean, just look at what's happening now in the Ukraine.

You know, they're bombing museums and cultural sites.

So I think a lot of times it's just the luck of the draw.

Yeah, it's been accepted by the Studio Museum as a donation.

Oh, that's great.

And the donation will be from me, from the estate of the artist, and from Maya.

Thanks for your support.
