Director William Griswold in J.P. Morgan’s library at the Morgan Library and Museum
Yesterday was the day of my mother’s funeral.
It was also the publication date for my Wall Street Journal assessment of the restoration of the original McKim building of the Morgan Library and Museum, which has put the “Morgan” back in the Morgan (redressing the imbalance created by the Renzo Piano-designed expansion).
Maybe, in a way, this coincidence was fitting, since it was from my mother that I got my love of art and museums.
I will not be blogging until next week. Meanwhile, if you miss me, here’s my WSJ article—Morgan in a New Light.
