by BWW
News Desk - Dec 07, 2010
Thinking Outside the Box: European Cabinets, Caskets, and Cases from the Permanent Collection (1500-1900)-on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art beginning December 7, 2010- will feature 100 works selected from the Museum's Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts. The objects featured in this installation will range from strongboxes to travel cases and from containers for tea or tobacco to storage boxes for toiletries or silverware. These lidded pieces, some of which have not been on display for many years, are made in a large variety of shapes and sizes, and of many different materials, and were created by mostly unknown artists, craftsmen, and amateurs. Viewed together, these works reflect changes in social customs as well as the evolution of styles over four centuries. Many are precious works of art that were collected in their own right.

by Ellen Sterling - Oct 27, 2010
Lior Suchard (top left) is a mentalist. I have seen him work his skill or, perhaps, art many times, both onstage and for casual audiences. What he does is jaw-droppingly astonishing.
I saw new Suchards show in the Palms in Las Vegas at a press night and, please be assured, there is no more cynical audience than members of the press. One even proved that by implying in print that Suchard set up segments of his act before the show.
