Subject: Goodbye Mr Gorey

I became a fan of Mr. gorey as a child watching Mystery on PBS. As I
grew older and being in the performing arts I became aquatinted with Old
Possum's Book of Practical Cats of which I found a copy illustrated by
Mr. Gorey. Since then I have tried to find pieces of his in art stores
and was suppressed to find that many art dealers were unaware of Mr.
Gorey. Mayhaps with his untimely passing his works will gain wider
acceptance within the art world. We can only hope.
