Not for me. (Not Mine.)
Jan. 18th, 2009 01:30 pmA nice side benefit or comfort item on this pilgrimage was that Mom got us tickets to see the Artistic Luxury exhibit (which is closing today) at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Description:
Just over 100 years ago, three of history’s greatest designers, Peter Carl Fabergé in Russia, Louis Comfort Tiffany in the United States, and René Lalique in France, were engaged in a spirited rivalry that drove each to attain unsurpassed heights in the creation of jewelry and luxury goods. In this opulent exhibition of more than 300 objects, see their greatest masterworks reunited for the first time since the legendary 1900 world’s fair in Paris.
Artistic Luxury offers a glimpse—through the stunning creations of these three great artists—into the world of the rich and famous during the years leading up to the First World War. Each designer was known for his own characteristic style and achievement, and the exhibition devotes a separate gallery to each jeweler, recreating the ambiance of the Paris world’s fair.
WHY NO THAT'S NOT UP MY ALLEY AT ALL.
Therefore, of course, Mom's car broke down this morning. The rental place nearest is closed Sundays, as is her mechanic. And don't even talk to me about public transit in these parts.
