Sidney Kirkpatrick in San Francisco to honor Walter Horn

The San Francisco leg of my Hitler’s Holy Relics book tour has been a smashing success. I am most grateful to Chris Hallett, the new chair of U.C. Berkeley’s Department of History of Art, for arranging for me and medieval art historian Beate Fricke to honor Dr. Walter Horn at an event at the Doe Library on April 28. Among the many guests were Peter Selz, the distinguished art historian of German Expressionism, several of Walter’s children and grandchildren, and a very large and enthusiastic contingent of former colleagues, students and friends. Among Walter’s many intimates I had the pleasure of visiting on this trip was Bernard M. Rosenthal, the Berkeley antiquarian book dealer who provided me so much help while writing Hitler’s Holy Relics. This candid snap was taken of the two of us on April 19, at the SF Club’s “The Family,” at Barney’s grand 90th birthday party celebration, which was organized by John Crichton.
