Helen Rubin Stoller was one of the many post office muralists to face controversy. In Stoller’s case, it was not the subject of her mural (Susan B. Anthony) that was the problem, it was the presentation: the original design was too abstract. Sadly, we can see neither the original study nor the final mural online. Ms. Stoller had a photograph of the mural, which has been destroyed, but I do not know its fate. In fact, not much of Ms. Stoller’s work can be seen online outside of auction sites. One (this one) wonders of the validity of the works on auction sites (I’m not talking about Sotheby’s or Christie’s, though they are not infallible). It probably doesn’t help that I am currently (well, not so currently that I am reading a book while writing this post) reading The Great Believers (thanks, bud). I have no pretty bow with which to wrap up this tangential blather.
