The Ruth Duckworth retrospective at the
former Craft Museum (now Arts & Design)
is well worth the price of admission,
and the Garth Clark show (which includes
Duckworth and single pieces by Noguchi,
Bontecou and Fontana, mainstream art
names all) is worth the gander, too.
Although the new MOMA is not clay-focused
and a little pricey, too, I'm truly glad
I went. I was prepared to be a little
cynical about the 'New MoMa' (as I was
about its previous incarnation), but it's
an amazing collection. It does no one's
work any harm to look at art from outside
our own personal focus.

about MOMA: you can get in free every friday
evening from 4:30 to 8 (9?) pm. if you can,
go there aroud 6 pm: you get in without wait.
i went there around 4 pm last time and found
there were people waiting already in a three-block
long line. took more than half an hour to get in.
it was very cold.
