Review:

"The works in question make up the entire estate of this artist. He left behind a one-page will, nearly 
95 percent of the work he ever made (he sold or gave away only 150 pieces in his lifetime) and a 
widow determined to follow his final testament to the letter. The demands were these: His estate 
could be bequeathed only to an American city, one that would build a museum to serve as a temple to 
his art and to nothing else. No works could ever be sold. No other artist could ever show a single 
piece alongside his. All Clyfford Still, all the time."
