Content Description
Concerning early moves for an exhibition of American Art at the Royal Academy. The writer details the early involvement of
Sydney Lee in the project and suggests they avoid involving Edward Bruce, who would take the show in a radically modern direction.
The writer stresses that if the more extreme examples from the Whitney collection were used then it was likely that older members fo the Academy would go "on Strike".
