ART EVENT: Arts & Treasures Sale

July 2, 2008 at 10:52am

Perhaps there wasn't much to begin with. Or, maybe it had already been pretty picked over, which is what someone leaving told me as I arrived.� Or, maybe the previous evening's preview party had been heavily attended and they scooped up the treasures. Regardless, when I took a look early Friday afternoon the Arts & Treasures sale at the Memorial Art Gallery didn't seem to have much of the latter.

Well laid out, the items were placed on tables along the walls and an inside perimeter of Cutler Auditorium. The dishes, records, collectors' plates, linens, quilts, jewelry, rugs, silverwares, etc., seemed oddly exposed, taking up such little space in the cavernous area.

Across the hall were works on paper by Ester Polick and paintings by Mary Orwen. Lining the walls and set on tables, this area was well stocked with artwork.

Not finding any gotta-have-its, I left. I did find a treasure though -- the tree-lined walkway between the old and new buildings. Priceless.
