J'ai un souvenir de Pierre de la Biennale de Venise du 1976: une foto ou
il semble un directeur d'orchestre. Je salue aussi Fred que je n'ai plus
vu depuis presque trent ans!

Dear Fred,
Thanks for keeping me informed about the memorial service for Pierre in Montparnase. There is one thing I did want to note that I forgot to mention in the memorial for Pierre that took place in New York City.
If an artist was using a computer to make artwork in the 1980’s in the New York art world, it was considered a gimmick. You could not be taken seriously as an artist if you brought a computer into the practice of painting. Today one cannot imagine this 1980’s attitude about the use of the computer in art. In the year 2004, it hardly seems possible to imagine any artist that does not use a computer in their art making process. Photoshop is an omnipotent tool for the composition, adjusting and reproduction of an image. The Internet is the accepted means to send an electronic image and looking at art in a digitized format is normal.
Pierre was one of the first critics to champion art, technology and science. Artists, like Joseph Nechvatal, and myself for example, had to move to France in order to gain the critical acceptance that was nurtured by Pierre. Way before many others, Pierre understood the importance of this artistic movement on the history of art. He had the intelligence, the sympathy and the vision to see what others could not. I will always be grateful for his warm friendship and support.
Sincerely,
Steve Miller

Dear Fred,
I remember Pierre Restany, in the middle of the phantastic confusion of “L’ultima cena” (1970) in Milano, when Tinguely gave fire to his phallic structure before the D?me of Milan.
I remember also when Pierre came to Genoa with his friend C/sar who made a public expansion at the Fiera del Mare, one night, early seventies.
We had a pleasant chat all together.
Pierre was at the maximum of his “verve”.
Nobody noticed that the moon was covered by dark clouds.
