As early as 1965 Kurt was already conceptualizing a book about his life, as these pages from one of his notebooks indicate. At the time he'd just turned thirty years old, a rising-star-assistant-professor at UCLA and beginning to write furiously in magazines about the world of fine art and art history. In a sense, his life had barely begun; many additional chapters had yet to be recorded. Though his penchant for self-documentation was well established, Kurt's Meierbücher never got written. That task was left to others, as this website attests.
Kurt also made a list of books he planned to write; that list is shown as well. He completed one and wrote others he never imagined.
