Manon Cleary

'Man in Plastic Bag #6' (1996) by Manon Cleary From: F. Lennox Campello
To: All Washington, DC Museum Curators

Subj: Manon Cleary

Question: Now that one of you gave Sam Gilliam his well-overdue and richly deserved retrospective at the Corcoran, when is one of you going to step up and give Manon Cleary a museum show in her own hometown?

Does she have to die first?

Sincerely,

Me
P.S. From 2004.
