On 11/12/14 Ginger Delader, a Representive on behalf of Billy Schenk called with a list of items that needed to be changed in regards to the Artist and this particular artwork. The requests were that we change the Artist's name to appear as Billy Schenck and that the work is oil on canvas. These changes were made in the database to reflect the request on 11/12/14.
The Ernest J. and Edith M. Schwartz collection was donated to the Department of Cultural Affairs. Parts of the collection were then divided amongst the four Museum of New Mexico museums. The rest of the collection is to be sold to benefit future acquisitions.
