Letter

Dear Ms. Chiu:

In its public meeting of 18 November conducted by videoconference, the Commission of Fine Arts approved, based on its prior review of the submission materials, the proposed final design for signage at the Hirshhorn Museum’s Sculpture Garden on the National Mall between 7th and 9th Streets, SW. In their support of this component of the sculpture garden’s rehabilitation, the Commission members deferred to the project team in selecting between the two options for the height of the letters.

As always, the staff is available to assist you with future submissions.

Sincerely,
/s/Thomas E. Luebke, FAIA
Secretary
