In a letter dated back to 1990, John Sainsbury expressed his delight about the demolition of a pillar in the National Gallery's Sainsbury Wing, criticizing it as a mistake by the architects.
Sainsbury's letter, found hidden inside a column, conveyed his strong disapproval of the false columns installed in the foyer, emphasizing their lack of structural purpose and the regret his generation might face.
Anya Linden, Sainsbury's widow, rejoiced at the rediscovery of her late husband's note, reflecting on its significance and her happiness at what was deemed unnecessary being removed.
