Dear Via,

In a letter Horace Walpole wrote on 28 January 1754 to his friend Horace Mann, he explained an unexpected discovery he had made about a lost painting of Bianca Cappello by Giorgio Vasari by reference to a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip. The princes, he told his correspondent, “were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of”.

Luis Camnitzer used Post-it notes as an edition we made some time ago. Purely serendipity in many ways.

We have made “serendipity” as a Neon-Installation and showed it at Art Basel.

I would not dare to say you are a princess. But you are my serendipity.

With found and not searched for true admiration.
