The display in Watson was arranged by Miss Brigitte Foerster, visiting librarian from Berlin.
The books were loaned to the library by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C., as part of its nationwide traveling exhibition service. This exhibition was organized by the Association of German Booksellers and was sponsored by the German Embassy.
Various categories and periods of art are covered by the display, which is not confined to German art.
There are books on contemporary art, as well as on the old masters. There are biographies, anthologies, books on the philosophy and history of art, and a few of highly technical nature on such subjects as industrial design or the fundamentals of calligraphy. Most of the books are illustrated.

Inside the bookstore it looked as if a spatnik was about to land or the ceiling was falling in. Everyone was looking up.

with people strolling past to study the pictures displayed.
The prospective buyers were parading past the pictures, and I joined the procession. A man rubbed the back of his neck as he walked. I guess he had been looking too long.
Some people were just curious with no intention of buying. The less appreciative laughed at Kandinsky's "Heavenly Bodies."
The employees didn't seem to mind the confusion. They were interested in the pictures and the people who selected them.
I still hadn't decided which print would look best hanging on our wall. I finally chose Picasso's "Portrait de femme," and another of a bullfighter, (I, too, felt romantic, daring and adventurous.)
When I got home I remembered that I should have bought some frames but I decided they weren't necessary. I took out the paste and glued the pictures to the wall over the plaster holes.
