The image of a mourner is exquisite.

I posted the following on your other thread:

Very interesting, thanks for posting that, Dayenu. These are sculptures dating back to the time of John the Fearless.

The March 2 - May 23, 2010 "run in New York" is at the Met:

I think Mom and I are going to New York in April, so perhaps we will go see this. Thanks for the info.

Dayenu

I printed a reminder for myself too, this will go into "to do and see" folder, perhaps next year in December in San Francisco.

Thanks, dayenu!! This may get me back up to the VMFA. It's been too long since I've last been.

Thanks so much Dayenu. I will definitely see them here in NY and maybe if I'm lucky, I can see them in SF too!

Dayenu

It's in 2011, don't forget! We don't want to show up a year early

Birdie

Haha, the Richmond stop is in 2012. I would have been TWO years early.

The related exhibit at the Met on the Art of Illumination sounds great, too.

We can give you a review before you go Dayenu or better yet, come here and see it earlier!

For those who think Dijon is only notable for mustard - this work comes from the museum in Dijon - HQ for the Dukes of Burgundy. These sculptures are out travelling right now because the museum is doing renovations.

I forgot about this thread. I saw the exhibit a few weeks ago. I thought they were wonderful. I've never seen anything like it.

My parents saw this exhibit last week and thought it was wonderful. I'm very excited that the next stop will be here in St. Louis at SLAM.

Thanks for posting the review yk. I'm planning to see this exhibit when we are in New York...which is soon

yk

I almost forgot that the exhibit is in NYC right now until I saw the WSJ review! Well, we'll go see it too in a few weeks, after your visit, china_cat!

Last chance to see this at the Met in NYC (thru May 23), before it travels to St Louis.
