For fans of Hunger Games and Elysium —
Roberta Smith in this evening's* online New York Times—
"Especially with the gap between the wealthiest
and everyone else so wide, it is dicey
for a major museum to celebrate the often frivolous
objects on which the rich spend their ever increasing
surplus income. Such a show must be beyond reproach
in every way: transparent in organization, impeccable
in exhibition design, illuminating in catalog and labeling
and, most of all, self-evidently excellent in the quality of
the objects on display."
Da capo: "I've heard of affairs that are strictly Platonic."
