A Ravenous Obsession

This sounds wonderful and I look forward to seeing it. But is that it? It doesn't exactly sound like a summa on the origins of the Rococo. This may have made more sense as a ancillary exhibition to the Ann Vallayer Coster exhibition of a few years ago which featured, albeit it two dimensionally, the same fascination discussed here. But I do take my hat off to the agressive series of exhibitions, large and small which Anne Poulet, the new director at the Frick has undertaken to mount. For years the Frick offered only Henry Clay's collection, now they are cooking. The Frick is no longer a mortuary chapel but now a living vibrant part of our much cherished museum mile.
