I somehow managed to post the “Sky Mirror” story (below) twice, and I can’t seem to get the second one deleted. Maybe it’s a sign that my running “Ben” gag is wearing thin. (If it wasn’t before, it sure is now!) Or maybe it’s a sign that I shouldn’t be posting on midnight on Friday.
Anyway, here’s a slight correction and an update: “Sky Mirror” was, as I correctly said, the lead item under “Museum and Gallery Listings” in the online version of the NY Times. But it was featured in its own box, accompanied by a photo, on the first page (E24) of “The Listings” compendium in the Friday “Weekend Arts” section of the actual newspaper.
The Barbara Gladstone Gallery, which I called today, reported that “nothing is confirmed yet” about the future of Anish Kapoor‘s cosmic microcosm, but several possibilities are under consideration. The gallery spokesman, who did not wish to be identified, wouldn’t say if one of those options would keep the piece in New York, where CultureGrrl says it belongs.
UPDATE: I finally managed to delete BOTH versions of my double-post, and then replaced one, below. I thought I knew how to do this blogging thing. Maybe not!
