Oops. Meant Matta instead of the second Chase.

Well, let's see here... Susan says 'Only three VOTES today -- Morandi (I've seen a lot of his work at the Center for Modern Italian Art here, & like it a lot), Gozzoli & Chase.'

I'll go with Morandi, Cragg, Chase. Its tempting to vote against Matta, but the possibility of having Matta votes so close to anti-Matta votes raises the prospect that we could accidently release titanic uncontrollable forces.
