In Memoriam

Anne d’Harnoncourt

September 7, 1943 – June 1, 2008

"After the Mark Di Suvero sculpture 'opening' last June was walking past the Art Museum and saw Ms. Anne d’Harnoncourt (near the Northern entrance) picking up stray litter/trash on the museum grounds while walking back to work. Stuck out my hands and told her I was going past a dumpster so she gave me what she had retrieved to dispose of. Just think it was sort of impressive that she was in work/business attire and *still* willing to scoop up garbage at the same time."
