I loved this exhibit.

the glasswork is amazing to behold. So sensual and visually soothing at the same time. Othoniel's work is very different from Chulily's, yet exudes the same sensations. I loved the garden settings.

At first glance the objects in this room look hodgepodge, and after looking closer and reading some of the info posted beneath each work the collection looks... hodgepodge! The thesis seems a little on the weak side, which is disappointing because as individual pieces the works are very strong. I don't understand why this is a "collection" in any significant way, and posting open ended questions challenging us to make the connections between the pieces ourselves was underwhelming and felt like a cop out. It was entertaining to walk the exhibit aimlessly as it felt like a taste of a whole museum's offerings in one place, but I wanted a clever tie-in to get me excited and to think about the exhibit as a whole, instead of as the motley piecemeal I found it to be.

A true slice of the New York Art and Social Scene of the 80's depicting a raw and awesome art form started by one of the great American artists of our time. Awesome and Revealing...............

It is fascinating to admire the art work presented in the museum, especially in the ancient Egyptian exhibit. Not only is the art work extremely impressive, but so is the history of the piece. To just think of all of the eyes that have admired the art over the centuries is amazing.
