Reinhardt, Newman, and Kenzo Okada, another loyalist, also understood that new talent was needed to invigorate Parsons' stable of artists. A small room, next to the large windowless main space, was named Section Eleven (for its actual address, next door) and readied to welcome Betty's latest discoveries.
