<head>Biographical Note</head>
<p>Helene Marie Fesenmaier was born 31 August 1937 in New Ulm, Minnesota.
She was a graduate of Smith College in Massachusetts (1959) and from Yale
University School of Art and Architecture (BFA, 1961). She moved to New York
City and in 1963 was one of the initial group of students that founded the New
York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture with their teacher
Mercedes Matter. Matter named Morton Feldman Dean of the school in 1966. </p>
<p>After years of studying and working in The Netherlands, Greece, Peru,
Yucatan, and Venezuela, Fesenmaier moved to London, England in 1970 and became
a resident there for the remainder of her life. Her paintings and sculptures
have been the subjects of more than two dozen solo exhibitions in London,
Cambridge, New York, Northampton, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., Caracas, and
Dusseldorf, Germany. Her works have also been on display in group exhibitions
and are held in the permanent collections of several museums. </p>
<p>Helene Fesenmaier worked under her maiden name but Feldman's letters
to her are addressed to her under her married name at the time, Helene Dawson.
Her husband was Frank Dawson, a lawyer for the World Bank. After her first
marriage was dissolved, she married artist David Hodgson in 1992. Helene
Fesenmaier died in London 21 June 2013.</p>
<p>Composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987) was best known for his association
with the New York School of experimentalist musicians, including composers John
Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown, and pianist David Tudor. In addition to
composing approximately 150 works, Feldman also wrote more than three dozen
articles about various aspects of music and art. </p>
<p>Feldman was a member of the music department faculty at the State
University of New York at Buffalo from 1972-1987. During those years he served
as Slee Professor of Music 1972-1973, Edgar Var&#xE8;se Professor 1975-1987, and
Director of the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, 1976-1980. He was
also responsible for creating the June in Buffalo festival of contemporary
music in 1975. </p>
