Clement Greenberg memorabilia in Katonah (that's where it belongs). This man with his way for words and articulateness conned generations of people into buying ridiculous paintings. Only Pollack's celestial suggestions are worth anything. I remember the impact seeing one upclose on a wall in a small apartment on East Lake Shore (Ruth Horwich's?) --WOW.

Greenberg knew towards the end that DeKooning was a phony but by that time could not reverse himself much.
