My bride and I will have some free time on Saturday - anyone want to make
any suggestions about clay-oriented places to visit?
Thanks in advance!

Asia House is great. The Pierpont Morgan Library displays the first
written form of clay cylinders from Babylonia and always has an
interesting display of first editions including a Guttenburg
Bible..the residential environment is amazing.
The Met has hostorical ceramics and the Egyptian turquoise faince
hippo, and the Musuam of Art and Design has contemporary work. Galleries
all over: Garth Clark on 57th(?) handles Karen Karnes and Tashiko
Takeazu down in SoHo and Tribeca Potters, Greenwich House.

The Morgan Library is one of my favorite museums in NYC. Unfortunately, it has been closed for several years for renovation and expansion, and will not reopen any time soon.

Nic,
The Metropolitian Museum is a must see.
They have lots of Asian porcelains and lots of Majolica ware.(The =
paintings are not too bad either)
To see a sample..

And make sure you stop in the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, Arts of =
Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, 1st floor

Though not clay, the wood sculpture will make your head spin.
Off the beaten path is the Cooper/Hewitt National Design Museum,
located just down the street from the Met.
There is a new show, 'New Design from Isreal' which looks interesting...

Have fun...

Hi Richard,
Your request was timely, as I just came back from spending a few days
in New York. Been 40 years since I have been to the Big Apple, and
had a great time. I went with my daughter, she has been a few times,
and she was anxious to show me her favorite spots. We stayed in
Chelsea, on 17th, between 5th and 6th, and on 17th, between 6th and
7th, there is the Rosen Himalayan Museum. It has a cafe and a shop.
I went twice to see the Garth Clark Galleries, and both times it was
closed. (Sunday and Monday). They are doing some renovating in the
building, so maybe that is why, or maybe it is just their closing
dates.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, has an exhibition of Van Gogh's
drawings, (3 or 4 rooms of them), very, very, very, nice. The Asian
Galleries did have beautiful celadons, temmies, etc...., well, one
could spend days in that place.
Had to see the Guggenheim again, and then of course we had to walk
through Central Park and ride the Antique Carousel.
The only thing I did not like was the crowds, can't take them for too long.
The wonderful part of last week-end too, was the Chelsea Market, an
organic meal with organic wine that was delicious; Union Square, the
farmer's market sat. and monday, and it so happened that there was a
street fair going down to Washington Square with wonderful things to
buy at incredible prices. Most was hand made from South America, or
Asian antiques, and jewelry. No pottery!
Whole Foods is at Union Square too, if you want good take out.
Greenwich, Soho, Little Italy, all had so many interesting places to
visit. Little shops, and then of course the Apple Store on Prince
st.!
Every meal we had was good. Thanks to my daughter, who knew where to
go, and also thanks to Hank, because we did go to La Foccacia on Bank
street, and had a lovely meal.
You will have a good time, and the other thing that I have to say is
that the New Yorkers are sure friendly and helpful.
As usual, not enough time to see it all.
Best regards, and have fun,
Liz
