DonationNotes
Ken Kutzel borrowed this artwork from the Saugatuck-Douglas District Library for the "Cody's World" exhibit in 2019. After the exhibit closed, Library director Ingrid Boyer decided to let the SDHC hold on to the painting because library staff were unable to contact an heir to the Mulder estate and the new library building had no place to store the work.Made/Created
