A Rose is Rrose...



Oh la la... pull out the red carpet for former MoMA curator and PaceWildenstein director of drawings Bernice Berend Rose! After filtering through national press for the past week the Chron has announced that the Houston - New York commuter is now the director of the imaginary Drawings Institute of the Menil Collection (although I bet she gets a real office). Expect an examination of the Menil's massive collection demonstrating Rose's flair for organization and curatorial style, just like Franklin Sirmin's photo show when the intrepid curator joined the organization. February will bring The Poetry of Process: A Celebration of Drawing; oh, and a Richard Serra drawing show in the works too.

Selavy. I wonder how many imaginary drawings the menil's new institute has.

more than 1,200 drawings, watercolors and collages from the 20th century, as well as its 150 old master drawings (imaginary holdings)
