CultureGrrl thanks another Cecilia Beaux enthusiast, Christine Giviskos, assistant drawings curator at the J. Paul Getty Museum, for pointing out that the High Museum’s upcoming Beaux exhibition is not, as the Atlanta museum claims, “the first critical examination of [her work] in more than 30 years.”
“Cecilia Beaux and the Art of Portraiture” was, in fact, mounted at the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, a bit more than a decade ago: Oct. 6, 1995 – Jan. 26, 1996.
Didn’t the High’s research, if not its curators’ memories, manage to come up with this?
