Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories.” Contemporary Jewish Museum. San Francisco, Calif., and The National Portrait Gallery. Washington, D.C. http://www.npg.si.edu/exhibit/stein/intro.html. Traveling exhibition, May 12–Sept. 6, 2011 at Contemporary Jewish Museum; Oct. 14, 2011–Jan. 22, 2012 at National Portrait Gallery. Wanda M. Corn and Tirza True Latimer, curators.
