Gold Rush at American Museum of Natural History

I'm a bit late opining on the Gold show at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, but I did already tell you it was "extraordinary" and give you a tantalizing preview.

The virtue of my procrastination is that when Roberta Smith of the NY Times weighs in before me, I have the luxury of linking to her and saying, "ditto."

However, she did not have the luxury, in a family newspaper, of zeroing in on the provocative object I highlighted last week. And since she focused, at great length, on the ways in which the show was more than worth its weight in gold, she leaves me with little more to do than what I do best: quibble.

That, however, will have to wait till next week. Right now, I've got to hug the visiting Joyce with the Golden Hair, Gild the Turkey and braise the cardoon.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM CULTUREGRRRRL!
