Love the antique red coral specimens, but also feel mixed about our continuing to harvest it at all for decorative purposes. This is one of those situations where I think that the faux-ones modeled after the fine red coral branches are far superior to the less beautiful ones one now sees on the market. A friend of mine owns a collection of red coral that was owned by Mae West.... delicate as it comes.Authorhttp://www.adiscourseontheartsandsciences.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-51806214374166196672010-08-25T11:43:50.836-04:002010-08-25T11:43:50.836-04:00Intriguing post.

The art/artist articles are outstanding, very avant garde for most publications. You have to see the Louise Bourgeois article and the Alessandro Mendini article. Also, Eadweard Muybridge's 19th century photography. The Balenciaga dresses are incredible as well as many other pieces from different designers. It reviews fall's 14 heftiest tomes and the kelly green and white room I mentioned is a picture from a show "Embarrassment of Riches" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts opening in September. I could go on and on but then you'd kill me. If you can't find a copy, go to your library and read it (it took me two days). Or, I will send you my copy, minus 3 pages I tore out, but will copy them and send them too. The issue is that good. I can't wait each month for my W to come.
