Dear Naomi O'Leary, As the new president of the Vasarely Foundation, since the 21st of July 2009, I can confirm to you that noneless the difficulties from the past, the new board of the Foundation does its best to restore its reputation. Our petition was successful and confirmed the importance of the building which will be soon recognized as a historical monument. With the support of the french government, sponsors and "the friends of the Vasarely Foundation, Claire and Victor Vasarely's will is to be fully respected. I would be very pleased to welcome you in Aix-en-Provence to talk to you about our future plans for the Foundation. Best regards. Pierre Vasarely www.fondationvasarely.fr
