It took a while, but the NY Times today finally gives us a proper obit for Olga Raggio, the Metropolitan Museum’s formidable chairwoman of European sculpture and decorative arts. And their photo is much better than the one I managed to find for the brief homage that I posted more than a week ago.
As noted by Times writer Margalit Fox, Raggio’s exhibitions included some of the greatest international blockbusters of their time: “The Splendor of Dresden,” 1978, “Treasures From the Kremlin,” “The Vatican Collections: The Papacy and Art,” 1983.
