Taj Mahal
By Beatrice Robertson

Hi Group,

When we were in Switzerland in August, we got a hurry up invitation to see and hear the HUGE Taj Mahal Mortier in Retonio's Casino (at the time in bankrupsy) before it was to be packed for shipment to Australia. It is still huge and overwhelming when you're a grownup seeing it for the first time. Now we need to rely on some of our "down under" members to find out where it went in Australia.

On another part of the same note, I believe the "warehouse" where Roc saw the Mortier was probably the American International Gallery in Irvine, or Hathaway & Bowers. I just recently purchased a collection of books, among them catalogs from the Americal Intl. Galleries from 1977 forward. I have not gone through them yet, but will have some comments for the group when I get the time to do so. Like "don't we wish" on prices and selection!
