Menil Collection acquires works by Lew Thomas. Works acquired include “BIBLIOGRAPHY 3” (1977), “Bookspine (Malevich)” (1979-80) and “Bathers” (1987). The works came from the collection of legendary cultural figure Walter Hopps, who like Lew Thomas, was a gifted curator and polymath. Thomas and Hopps knew each other for many years, and had a close working relationship.
