Missing Mondrians

It has all gone rather quiet on my little book.
The other British libraries did not request a copy and I have done nothing about the Library of Congress.

I have been occupied with other non-Mondrian projects, but I am inclined in the near future to send copies to the British libraries, stylishly-redacted copies to the LoC and then call it a day.

I did call into the V&A library recently to check that they still had it while researching Hepworth Square Forms.

Katy Perry

I have no idea who Katy Perry is, but she intersected with PM in 2014.

Here's a link.

It might be possible to identify the background using the Blackburn-Mondrian Index.
