Dates for the exhibitions were set and details like the size and characteristics of the shows confirmed. But not without much excitement and an occasionally confusing moment as both the New Yorkers and our Budapest counterparts coped with language barriers and frequently inoperable email connections. Early on a decision was made to produce a call for entries for the New York component of the exhibition and have it juried by Ann Chernow and Mohammed Khalil.

No where has this been more true than in our experience with Ilona DECSI b. 1950 Remembrance Plate: 32 cm H x 44.5 cm W Etching and aquatint 4
