On August 3, 1972, Chairman of the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Seymour Knox wrote a letter to inform A.I.R. that it had been approved for a grant from the council. The letter was mailed to Agnes Denes, a founding member of A.I.R. Knox addressed A.I.R. as a group of “gentlemen,” showing a clear gender bias in NYSCA’s dealings with contemporary art institutions.
