Last night, Trish and I returned from an exciting, art-filled trip to New York.
The itinerary included the annual National Sculpture Society Celebration at the Century Club; the presentation of the Medal of Honor for Achievement in Film - honoring Ellen Burstyn at the National Arts Club; a guided tour of the Morgan Library with NSS members, guests, and patrons; a visit to Conner- Rosenkranz Galleries to see sculpture and drawings with Robin Salmon - the Curator of Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens who introduced me to the extraordinary art dealer - Joel Rosenkranz; and a visit to the Frick Museum to see sculptures by Houdon and Clodion and to view
Renaissance and Baroque bronzes from the Hill Collection.
