MET Exhibition Schedule Through Spring 2011, from Gossart to Baldessari

Picture 2

Art Market Views contributor Mackie Healy has complied a list of the Met’s upcoming shows.

Her picks? Baldessari and a photo exhibit uniting early 20th century geniuses Stieglitz, Steichen and Strand. I would add a show of Charles Rohlfs sinuous furniture designs and 16th century Flemish painter Jan Gossart — in a show partly funded by Hester Diamond, who was among Larry Salander’s victims.
