@D-Mod: Thanks for this look behind the curtain. I'm not sure how to react to learning that even Walter's masterwork couldn't escape the pettiness that us mere mortals know all too well.
What was that quote (mis)attributed to Kissinger about academic politics? I'd wager the stakes are even lower for museum politics.
I always thought it was a very striking album cover, though I didn't know what exactly it was. The history lesson here was quite interesting. The lengths it took to make it actually be the album cover give you extra appreciation for it! Thanks for sharing, D. Too bad I wasn't aware of this story back in 2016 when I visited DC and the Smithsonian, I could have flipped them the bird on yours and Walter's behalf.

It's a beautifully designed CD package. Enjoyed the step by step PhotoShop mask creation. It's a really stunning, powerful image.
