Just so you get the details correct when making the enquiry, the work is by Larry Ludtke, it is of Major General Donovan,
and it is located in our Original Headquarters Building Lobby.

That's great news I will have our clearance analyst do some research on this. Also Sharon wanted to see if you
could send a photo of the sculpture by Ludika Enss from 1987 that is outside Major Donovan's office. We don't
have one in our last photo cd from you and we need one in order to try and clear it. Thank you for your help on
all of this.
Thanks,
Brett

We have made some progress on this. We found out that the work is not by Robert S. Neuman. It is actually by Robert
W. Neumann, who was also a member of the Washington Color School. Our museum staff is trying to track him down
(the last known whereabouts were in NYC about four years ago). If you and your folks would also like to do some looking
for him, please feel free.
So, all the info we have at this point on the piece:
Robert W. Neumann 1967 Untitled Arrows Series A-15

Sorry for the delay on this information. Here are the contacts we have regarding the "Arrow" painting at the
CIA. We are still doing our best to find the artist of this piece or someone who can verify that Robert Neuman
painted it. For you records:
