Depending on to the Metropolitan Area, Greco was teaming up with the Foreign Chinese History Museum of China, and she preferred a show on Sunlight Yat-sen, a key leader in present day Chinese record whom Greco referred to as the "leader of China's republican transformation.".
Greco had actually apparently sought to store the show in the Brooklyn Museum's galleries for International fine art, but the gallery claimed it could possibly not do so on such short notification. At that point Adams agent Ingrid Lewis-Martin apparently came in, emailing the establishment to "make sure that the gallery was entirely familiar with Borough Hall's interest in supporting the demand, if it were actually feasible." In an e-mail quoted by the City, Brooklyn Museum supervisor renewed that the institution can certainly not place a show in a month.
