"Ma posso dirti sin d'ora che la mostra ha avuto un successo veramente notevolissimo di critica e di vendite. Ti manderò un plico separato di recensioni ecc. Questa mostra ha contribuito a farti considerare uno dei maggiori artisti contemporanei, ed io ne sono quanto mai lieta e soddisfatta. Ho venduto tutte le opere elencate nel catalogo ad eccezione di due, e anche l'Autobiografia che era stata esposta alla Carnegie (Complessivamente undici dipinti)":
