  1. Thank you for the comments on the artist August Will. I often wonder what happened to his works also but suspect they might be now in the collection of Dineen at HCCC. There was a court case regarding the payment of storage of the collection.

    1. If I’m not mistaken, the collection of the Jersey City Museum–which included Will’s works–is being transferred to Rutgers. Although I wish the art would remain in JC, it’s probably for the best. The art can be properly maintained at Rutgers, and people can study and enjoy it. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
