Come to think of it, alright, I "dropped the ball", as you U.S. cats say, but am I the only one who can start obituary threads around here? And Barbara's SY connections were multiple, so damn all of ya!

From The New York Times:
Ms. Ess joined the photography department at Bard College in 1997. There she influenced a small but key segment of the younger art world, including the Lower East Side gallerist James Fuentes.
“In a critique or meeting about my thesis,” Mr. Fuentes recalled, “she would conjure a Sonic Youth song and start singing it.”
