NY Times “Museums” Section Tomorrow: A Sneak Peek at the Ads

UPDATE: The link for the Museums section is here.
Tomorrow’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for—publication day for the NY Times‘ special Museums section, which this year promises us “a look at the growing number of contemporary art museums and at the interplay between them and the art market” (i.e., selling older art to buy the next new thing?). The Times will also venture beyond Manhattan to bring us “reports from Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas and other cities.” How enterprising!
And let’s not forget one of the section’s chief raisons d’être: scads of ads from museums, hawking their upcoming exhibitions.
Speaking of which, CultureGrrl proudly presents her latest scoop: Sen. Charles Grassley, looking for truth-in-advertising violations, has just leaked to me the contents of ads placed in tomorrow’s Museums section by several New York City institutions.
Here are some highlights:
Brooklyn Museum: Kindred Spirits: Asher B. Durand and the American Landscape—See the eponymous ex-New York Public Library painting for one last time in New York, before it migrates to the Ozarks.
Metropolitan Museum: Marvel at the new Leon Levy and Shelby White Court…audaciously named for antiquities collectors as controversial as they were discerning!
Museum of Modern Art: The perfect setting for all your corporate parties.
Guggenheim Museum: Experience the Age of Enlightenment at “Citizens and Kings: Portraiture in the Age of David and Goya.” Ummm…quick, get me rewrite!
