"You were told how much space so it was a matter of whether you could send in two paintings or three paintings, you know, pending where the show was being held. You did submit work to be accepted. Once you were accepted that was it. You did your own selection of what went in"

This quote by Lee Krasner is referring to the procedure of submitting artwork to a program. She is saying that the artist was informed just how much space was readily available for their work, so they had to decide how many pieces to send based on that. When the work was accepted, the artist was accountable for choosing which pieces to include in the show. This quote stresses the importance of understanding the requirements of the show and ensuring to send the correct amount of work. It likewise highlights the artist's duty to make sure they are sending their best work and choosing the pieces that will best represent them. Eventually, the artist is in control of their own success.
