  11. If you're wondering, this is how it's done.

    They convened more than one representative/group for dialogue and the exhibition is moving forward because Galliano has done the work and the impacted were included.

    "Before announcing #JohnGalliano as the subject of its starry #CostumeInstitute exhibition opening next spring, the #MetropolitanMuseumofArt met with influential #rabbis and #Jewish leaders to discuss the selection of a figure “as famous for his #antisemitic rant in 2011 as he is for his #fashion,” according to the New York Times.

    As reported by the Times’s chief fashion critic #VanessaFriedman, the #Met convened several meetings between Jewish leaders and #AnnaWintour, #Vogue’s global editorial director and a Met trustee; #AndrewBolton, curator in charge of the Met’s Costume Institute; and #Galliano himself. Among the Jewish leaders were #JonathanGreenblatt, chief executive of the #AntiDefamationLeague, and rabbis from significant #synagogues in New York."

  15. If the American Museum of Natural History held a competing "gala" (read: natural history-themed costume party) on the same day as the Met Gala, would you attend? Assume the cost of a ticket is a sane amount for a relatively ordinary person to spend on occasion. Please boost for exposure.

  20. “Sculpture is a parable in three dimensions”*…

    … and now, as Kate Mothes reports, we can appreciate that remotely…

    In the age of the internet, we’re fortunate to have virtual access to museum collections around the world, thanks to objects in the public domain and programs like The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Open Access Initiative. Through a searchable digital catalogue, visitors to the museum’s website can see hundreds of thousands of objects, many images of which are available for download. And it’s not alone—other institutions like the Art Institute of Chicago, The National Gallery of Art, and The Cleveland Museum of Art, among others, make pieces in their collections accessible to all.

    The thing is, digital images don’t always give us the full picture, so to speak. Even two-dimensional paintings and drawings have unique textures, structural details, and materials that we can only really appreciate in person. This won’t ever really change—nothing beats the real thing. But one caveat is that even in person, much of the work remains hidden. We can’t see the backs of oil paintings, for example, and edges are often hidden within frames. Thanks to The Met’s continued emphasis on imaging, we can now experience every detail in three-dimensional renderings of nearly 140 significant objects in its holdings…

    As we dig depth, we might send artfully-formed birthday greetings to François Girardon; he was born on this date in 1628. A sculptor of the French Baroque, he best known for his statues and busts of Louis XIV and for his statuary in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. Several of his busts are in the Met’s collection— and on the list, one may hope, for 3-D rendering.
