We all could use generosity from collectors while we’re alive. I know a shrink in DC who is waiting for me to kick as he owns almost 200 prints.

I guess you could say Ruth had a vested interest. When I found out she was a lesbian who shot female nudes I just about burst out in smiles with wonder. She was working with material she loved, so no wonder her nudes were incredible.

I finally began looking for a print of ‘Nude in a Box’ but wow are they pricey. There’s one on eBay right now - 5.5x9.5” for only $12,000.

Ruth was bi.

She spent the final 20 years of her life with a male amanuensis who took the same care of her needs as her female friends had at one time or another.

One of my best friends studied with her.

That's a nice price.  She could have used it when she was alive.
