was about to go on display. Artsy invited three members of the local art press to observe and report on Dan’s entire project. Dan decided to go formal presenting LF’s two paintings because the company President finally attended, with his wife, and because the press presence would make good company PR. “Friends, let me say a few words and make some introductions before we unveil the latest additions to our company art collection.” Dan acknowledged and introduced his guests briefly as necessary, but he spoke at greater length about LF and her art credentials. He thanked both VP, and especially the President of the company for their encouragement. Then he spoke about selecting the two paintings being added. “LeeAnne has been guiding my introduction to the world of collecting and displaying art, both here at work and my personal collection at home. LeeAnne has had two very good collaborators in Mrs. Patron and Mr. Interior Decorator. All three have convinced me that good collections need to include art some people consider controversial. LeeAnne introduced me to the woman I call LF, and I want to thank LeeAnne for being persistent; my hard head sometimes needs pounding repeatedly before the door opens.

When his promotion was announced in September, the publicity would be one public fact in his favor. Dan was more surprised by favorable reaction from two other quarters, his secretary and the local art community. Dan’s secretary had always handled much of the detailed scheduling and paperwork concerning Dan’s corporate art collection project. She had never before expressed interest in either the artists or their work. This day she asked Dan to introduce her to his friends so she could learn more about the local art world. She also asked if she could attend some future events with him. Satisfaction showed on Dan’s face at her requests. In the week following publication in the Sunday Business section, Dan received a personal note in the mail from Interior Decorator. The note was a simple Thank You for accomplishing in less than a year something Rupert had worked a career lifetime toward. Dan’s stature at art openings was rising, even Laura had noticed ...
