fire place in one corner Of the
living room casts warm glow
during winter exhibitions.
People think I should move
into a gallery. but / think hav-

it its charm. People can as
simulate just so much art at one

smaller collection better"
Mr.. Aden's gallery is gra-
ciously free from the hustle OF

Many big shows feel the
works have to be new. I think
If a work has merit it should

tinuation Of the contract that
expired October /, without an
escalator clause, until a new
pact can be negotiated.
The company's chief nego-
tiator, Philip D. Moore, said OF
Mr.. Jandreau's walkout:
