Quoted from Fine Art Connoisseur January/ February 2013: ' In this age of  burgeoning e- correspondence and text messages, the complexity and ornamentation of actual letters on paper are more rare than ever, and in fact more intriguing.   Katlan’s collection opens up to us a lost world of personal communications (artwork and drawings), which is why it is particularly good news that highlights from it will be exhibited at the Salmagundi Club….'
