Really wonderful story. Thomas McEvilley was a great writer and critic!

Yes he was. Just read this great remembrance by David Frankel about the "Primitivism" kerfuffle at MoMA: https://gagosian.com/quarterly/2021/06/01/essay-game-changer-thomas-mcevilley/

McEvilley was ahead of his time for sure.

De Menil was our last visit before we moved out of Houston 11 years ago. It will be one of first visits whenever we come back one day. I miss the place!
