Hello, all - I received my catalogue to the new Met exhibit in the mall yesterday and boy am I impressed! I have barely paged through it - it will require some time - but I am wondering whether Devon or anyone who has been able to get to the exhibit could answer a question:
In my paging through the catalogue part of the book, #80 is a bobbin lace piece, 27 in x 33.5 in, owned by the Met. It is even featured as one of the twelve images on the paper that was on the back cover (single paper, not actually the back cover, as discovered when I undid the shrink-wrap). However, it is not on the website as being a part of the exhibit (all the exhibit's objects are apparently there). When I searched the collections by the number, it did indeed pop up, but is listed as "not currently on display." Devon's post here from her quick walk through stated that there was no lace. How then is this in the book? Or is it on display and the website needs updating and Devon's walk through was so overwhelming that she somehow missed it? It will be some time until I get to see the exhibit and I am just wondering about this lace piece and whether it is there. Plenty of other beautiful and dazzling pieces though! thanks, arlene in NJ in the US - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
